Staple Diet!

[Alter-Echo]

Crested should not be fed just insect this is not their main natural diet, they eat mainly fruit in the wild.

CGD and insect once or twice a week max is how a crested should be fed if you chose to provide insect, but they do not have to have insect either CGD is a complete diet.

I have raised some crested supplying insect and some never supplying insect.

Been breeding mine for 5 years now with mostly insects, raised many of the young to adulthood with no issues, the ones my customers have bought have all thusfar been healthy to my knowledge. I remember reading a study done on the diet of wild cresties and it stated that their diet includes large numbers of insects and the fruit portion of their diet tends to be seasonal.

If I can find the study again I will post it here.
