I've been following Robbie Hampers book. I feed crickets e/o day (gutloaded and dusted) and her baby food mixture w/ supplements on the opposite days. So I'm feeding my little guy daily. He's 6 months old.
So what did the guy say to feed them?
Ball Python, Bredl's Carpet Python, Kenyan Sand Boa, Saharan Sand Boa
Mexican Black King, California King, Snow Corn, Okeetee Corn, Everglades Ratsnake

he said feed them crix and mealies every day.
So do you mix baby food with supplements?(isnt that calcium?or is it the specialized cresty food?)or do you put them in seperate dishes?Do the crix have to be live?or can i get the ones in cans?

always live crikets, you can either mix supplemnts in the baby food or do the crested diet. the crested diet already has vitamins/minerals and calcium in it.

I believe it's something like 3 or 4 cricket's a feeding, and you'd want to dust calcium w/d3. You want to be careful so that the dust and something else you're using does not has d3 as well though. Too much d3 can cuase problems.
As for the crested gecko diet/baby food, I've read 1/4 of a spoonful. They won't acutally eat that much, but according to the author of the article (I forget who it was), he only puts down that much so it doesn't dry out to quickly.

Either your vitamins or your calcium should have D3, but not both. If you feed crickets every other day to a baby, you may find that it will skip eating on the other days and just wait for crickets. If I were you, I'd spread it out a little bit further or hand-feed the crested gecko diet to be sure they eat it.

Crested GEcko Recipe
i think that my two baby cresties do prefer crickets right now, but if i put a dab of baby food or CGD on the tip of their noses they will lick it off and then lick more of it off of my finger if i offer it right away. so far i can't tell if they are licking any of it out of their dish, but they get a good amount by licking it off of my finger, so hopefully they will learn to lick it from their dish too. how good is their sense of smell though? it that how they recognize the food that isn't live--by smell?

My little guy definitely eats off of my finger, but I don't think he's eating out of his dish now that he's in his big cage (he ate out of the dish when he was in his smaller cage, but then again I don't think I was offering him food off of my finger then).
I bet he thinks "Wow, every night about the same time the sun sets, it rains and then this giant stick (my finger) appears with food on it right in front of my face!"
