Looks good !!
Good plan, too. Stay with your basic outline of what you have planned, but don't forget to relax and have funYour little one will be just fine, I believe they are a lot tougher then what we give them credit for.
Now that she eats a few bugs per week, she will probably gain weight a bit quicker and better. Just remember to make the insects as healthy as you can. My bugger likes the Repashy calcium/D3, it smells good, too.
If you feed crickets, try to feed the crickets yourself for a couple of days before giving them to the animals. They don't get the most or best food in petstores before they sell them, and you want them to be plump and full of good food. If you try Dubias, same goes for them.
I really think that it is due to the Dubias that Smeagol has gained weight nicely. He doesn't even eat that many of them. I feed the ones that are about the length of the distance between his eyes (eyeball included) and he will eat 3 or 4. Once and sometimes twice the week, depending on how much CGD he eats. If he starts ignoring the CGD I make him wait longer. If he eats CGD he gets Dubias twice the week.
From all I've heard they stop being as interested in bugs as they get older. Which makes sense from what has been observed in the wild. I've seen some pretty fat Cresties that are on CGD only and some fat ones that get both bugs and CGD. So I guess once the weight goes up there it is time to watch the intake, no matter what is fed.
I would like a good sized gecko, but not one of those super fat ones with skin rolls and fat little arms, LOL !! I just don't think that can possibly be healthy..
