You should really consider switching her to Crested Gecko Diet. It's a lot healthier. The baby food is pretty much a bunch of sugar to them.

Well, she only gets baby food maybe once every week or two...her diet is mostly crickets and mealworms once a week, maybe twice. She is the first herp my husband and I got together and she is doing very well, she will be 4 in Feb.

A crested gecko's diet should have mainly the fruit part (like, the CGD by Repashy...it is formulated just for crested geckos, so that they live extremely long and healthy lives). Crickets should only be offered occasionally, and mealworms shouldn't really be offered at all. Oh, Allen Repashy is the go-to-guy for crested geckos. He has worked with them since they came in to the states, and personally created the CGD formula himself and after testing it with his own colonies of crested geckos, he noticed a big response health wise, breeding wise, and everything else. Just an all around healthier and happier gecko. ciliatus.com has great information, and a great forum for crested geckos. There is also PangeaReptile.com, GeckosUnlimited.com, and (of course) Repashy.com. All have top notch information on crested gecko, amongst of geckos, and great forums with gecko breeders and keepers alike to share information about the species.

Thank you for the information...I will definitly check those sites out!
I don't think there was quite as much info out about the cresties 4 years ago when we got her...
there seems to be an abundance (which is great) now!
Thanks again...

Oh yeah, 4 years ago there was probably nothing much out about them at all. I just recently got into them (2 years now) but I've done TONS of reading. Good luck with her!
