Feeding Question

[Jay_Bunny]

We got Chewy a small critter keeper, vines and the CGD. I know to mix it with water but how much water do we mix it with. Also, how much do we offer per night?

A question on baby food. When offering baby food as a treat, is it best to only use fruit baby food?

mix the cgd about 1 part cgd and 2 parts water. it might take a little more than 2 parts water to get good consistency--on the runny side is better for hatchlings and younger geckos. for hatchlings (i'm guessing that's what chewy is?) offer about a small bottle cap full every night to every other night--you can keep it in the cage for up to 48 hours. their stomachs are small when they are young, so you don't need to offer a lot at one time.

when giving baby food as a treat offer organic, no sugar added, non-citrus fruit flavors. some people mix turkey or chicken baby food into their gecko smoothies for protein but they usually won't eat it by itself.

Thanks. We always have organic baby food around because of the gliders. They get it as treats as well and sometimes we have a little left over, so now we have someone to eat that bit!

Just as a note....CGD smells interesting.

I checked the food dish just now and he did eat some. About half of what I offered. I think I have the temps in the room right for him. Right now its ranging between 72 and 75. Humidity is around 40% so I'll mist his cage down.
