buy the Crested Gecko Diet. you can not provide the correct type of diet by supplementing fresh fruit because in the wild there are alot of other things that come into play while concerning their diet [vitamins and minerals leached into their water by certain rocks in the area, bugs that eat certain types of plants that only grow in new caladonia, plants themselves that they munch on while there....] if you want it to be on a healthy diet, your best option is the CGD and crickets once a week, and maybe a treat of fresh fruit once a month...
the CGD is formulated to be exactly what the need, and a combination of everything they would eat while living in the wild. it has all natural ingredients and was formulated by Allen Repashy[even the one that says it was made by t-rex, they were all made by allen repashy], who is the person who re-discovered them, and also brought them into the pet trade.

I feed fresh fruit, along with a multivitamin. However not as the staple diet, though I probably feed it twice to three times each week. I also feed Clark’s, since I personally don’t like the CGD diet, and dusted/gutloaded crickets or roaches.
For fruits I generally use papaya, mango, banana, fig, strawberry, cactus pear, blackberries/blueberries, peach, raspberry, and occasionally some melon. Remember to check the phosphorous/calcium ratio, and supplement accordingly. It’s especially important to with peaches and bananas.

Actually, I meant to add this. Provided you have experience and are well versed in nutrition, you can completely phase out the pre-made diet. As long as you’re getting 20 -30% protein, calcium, multivitamins, and trace minerals, then you can do it. As a beginner, I would not recommend it.

what is the crested gecko baby formula? i haven’t ever heard of that! the cgd you can buy at a petstore is only about $5-7. it has a purple cap, and a picture of a crestie on the front of it. there are other forms of the died, but they generally cost more, but you also get more food from it. if you go to pangeareptile. com [w/out the space] they sell the two part, and the one part, but it is more expensive, mainly because you are buying alot more, but they are both made by Repashy.

ahahahahahahahahaha! that is great! when i told my parents that saphron was gravid, they thought she was going to give birth to live babies, and breast feed them! hahahahahaha i was like "guys! she’s a lizard! there are only like two species that give live birth, and she doesn’t even have nipples!’ they thought that it would be like having a pet rat who had babies, and that you would have to separate the male because he would eat them, but that the mother wouldn’t! [i used to have rats as pets]

you know i never thought about it, but now that i do, their heads do seem really big, but they are flat too, so if their heads were more round like other animals, it probably wouldn’t seem as big. it probably has something to do with them gliding/leaping long distances because i know that an adult in the wild can leap up to six feet in one jump... hahahaha, that is prety funny though!
if i don’t respond very quickly it is because i have the puppy all to myself today, and being sick and medicated makes it even more dificult to watch her! lol, my boyfriends niece and i decided to try and figure out how old she was in dog years the other day, and she is 2 1/2 in dog years [5 months]

that sucks about the golf cart, but the other stuff is cool, i used to find huge skinks out here before they developed everything, they are awesome. i am not sure what kind they are though. they were a golden color, and kind of iridescent...
