People like their people food the wqy they loke it better too... sweeter, fattier and saltier than it should be as well, doesn't make it better for them health wise. Follow the instructions. They will eat rhicker food less often because they are fuller longer, not because they are thumbing their nose. If you feed them what they like and not what they actually need, you will do them an injustice.

I do not have geckos at the moment (or any reptiles tbh but that's mainly because now is just not the good time for getting one) but I really like searching as much information about them as possible. So thank you for telling as "basic" things as to not make food too watery because some experienced people just forget to tell the most basic things like this. Thanks 👍

I follow the Pangea directions 2 parts water to 1 part gecko food. But i often adjust by adding a smidge more Pangea but im careful not to make it too thick or like you said, it will dry out fast.

Thanks, this was really helpful!

I do the opposite, I put 3 scoops to two parts water. Makes it thick and pasty but the geckos I feed get more nutrition from it. That’s why I have a water dish if they need a drink to help wash it down plus, most rotten fruits they eat aren’t runny liquids they’re thick and pasty

Thank you for the information. I am going to be getting my first crested gecko this spring.

I'm completely blind, so my method may seem strange, but here goes: I use a quarter teaspoon full of food, heaping usually, and then add water using a syringe, because I can easily control how much is getting in. I stir with a toothpick so I can sort of feel how thick it's getting. I appreciate this video. I'd been told if it was too thick, they couldn't eat it: I do think based on what you said, I had made it too thin. Thanks for this. Only had Monkey, my crested gecko, since February 2020.

@@Sostic :) No it's not a problem.

I only use the same amount of water as the powder because my crested gecko seems to like it less watery and a smidge more thick

This makes total sense! I honestly thought by making more watery, it ensures they are drinking enough. But I’m going to try to make more thick.

The red one is amazing, he looks like a mini croc!

Thanks for the advice. I am taking a little extra time to get the consistency right. I ordered a dubia roaches and should receive by the end of the week. I will gut load and feed to crested gecko once a week. Crested gecko is from pangea and only 4 grams. He eats pangea diet (according to the poop) but I hope it will grow better with the added insects. Thanks for the all the information.

My question is how much food should he be eating ? Thanks man !

Good info I do feed right 😁. But good to know I do food as needed but one day I could make it before hand someday.

How I make mine is I put some food in a cup for them then add a little water at a time stirring each time I added a little water until it was thick but not supper thick and if I added to much water I would add more of there food and mix it until I got the right thickness until it was like a ketchup texture I have never gone by the ratio that they tell you on the packages

Hi! I've had my crested gecko for maybe 3 years now and I've noticed hes gotten a bit chubby. I give him one scoop of food and spray some water in it to make is a thicker smoothie. I give him crickets with calcium powder every now and thenaswell, he also bites at his food. And doesnt see to eat or drink when i leave the food in his cage. What can i do?,

I just got my baby, many of my friends highly recommended Pangaea Watermelon flavour so I got it. The breeder uses Repashy and I haven't seen my little guy eat since the first day I offered it to him and it's been five days since I saw him actively eat. I left 5 dubia nymphs in a deli cup and he's not eaten any of those, either.

Try the insect kind mine loved it in the early stages, I also offer a pea size amount on the end of a popsicle stick right close to their face to let them smell it. If they are interested they'll lick it. If you got it from a breeder you could contact them for what they fed it. Just have lots of the 2oz packs of food mix, they get bored of one flavor also.

I think if u give them some insects besides pangea they will grow faster and bigger. My crested geko gets like 2 times insects with calcium powder and 1 pangea cup to have evrything needet. After all in the wild they eat 75%-80% insects and the rest is small fruits or polen(i give mine polen but pretty rare because it has too much sugar so it is just a treat like 1 time per month)

What is the ratio of gecko diet to calcium powder?

Hi I was wondering when in the day do I feed it and do I feed it this one day and crickets one day and repeat ?

They dont eat that much. And by the time you take into account then deinking separately its the same.

Do you leave it in the tank or do you feed it to them?

I've asked countless breeders and they have said to do an applesauce consistency

What morph is the gecko in this video??

I've been feeding my gecko runny food but for the past few weeks I've been feeding him dry food

Ive been thinking about adding a gargoyle gecko for a while now, but since feeders are often sold out around here and I dont want to order online for just one gecko Ive been holding off, then I learned about those crested gecko diets but they seemed really expensive (like 10 bucks für 50g) so i wanted to know how many grams one feeding is, couldnt find the info till this video. Now i have learned three things: - One feeding is around 1-1.5g (so probably like 50-75 bucks per year, not too expensive) - Dont make your gel too watery or your gecko will be left hungry - Use enough water so it doesnt dry out as fast 10/10 Video and comment section, would recommend

I have a crested gecko it’s about 4 months old, I’ve 2 questions to ask as I’m new to keeping geckos, he/she doesn’t seem to eat any of the Repashy or pangear, sorry if I’ve not spelt it right, I’ve tried different flavours of both from insect to fruit and combined, he will eat crickets but worried to give him/her to many of these as it doesn’t seem to eat the made up food ? Any suggestions would be so gratefully welcomed ?🦎 Also it’s really scared to pick up do I just persevere but obviously I don’t want to stress it out ?

My gecko mainly likes her food a little runnier

My gecko is skinny (not like that) and dont like to eat like that they have a big enough cage and everything the right food consistency and crickets and water but it had spit the water back up and i dont know what to do. I had it for like a year in a half and it never happened. Im so confused a worried

I have two crested geckos that live together in a tank (been that way since they were both babies) I’m their very first ever owner and one of mine seem like it’s doing SUPER good. Growing fast everything. But my other one is barely growing. I don’t know if it’s because their sharing a tank together or if it’s because ones eating more food than the other and I just need to feed my other one more. Help please lol ! I’ve had them since October but they are my very first lizards I’ve ever owned.

our gecko was terrified of living food and refused to eat it. We've been leaving freshly pre-killed insects which she does eat. now that she's in a decent size tank I'm unsure of trying living food again since it's hard to track rather or not she found it or that it's hiding between plants. And rather or not she's actually eating them. Should I keep giving her the pre-killed & fruit mix?

That is a gargoyle gecko😂💨

Do I leave the cup served until they finished eating it? Do I leave it for the day? Newbie here!! Help!

I recently got a juvenile gargoyle gecko. I want to start introducing her to insects so she grows faster. She is currently in eating the Pangea diets. Ive done a lot of research before I bought her, but I’ve heard mixed reviews about different insects. Ik crickets are a good feeder insect, but I hate them and I’d like to avoid them if possible lol. If I have to I will feed them to her ofc. Rn I have freeze dried crickets, but I haven’t given them to her yet. With meal worms I’ve heard that they cause impaction but some people say they’re fine? I was wondering what worms I could feed her and other insects. I’m posting this on several channels to get as many answers as possible:)
