My cresties were hatched in early May and are eating great, but I took to the habit of offering them crickets everyday (sprinkled with calcium and reptivite, only one containing D3) and then leaving baby food with the CGD mixed in. They have become almost complete carnivores. Very rarely do I see the baby food touched and I am offering them all fruit since they are eating so many crickets. I have four babies and I feed each in a separate small enclosure to ensure each is eating well (which they are).
I am wondering if it is okay for them to be on a almost purely carnivorous diet? Also, how often should I be sprinkling the crickets with calcium and how often with reptivite? I know the adulst need the vitamins less... I thought about adding the CGD to the mix when I sprinkle the crickets as well.
And all you BP owners thought you had the market cornered on OCD!!
