I wrote to this listserv last week about my newly acquired juvenile crested that wasn't eating his baby food (for reference, he is about 4.5-5.0" and does seem to be growing). Thanks for the responses - they were helpful.
Unfortunately, he still won't eat the baby food on his own. He will eat a little bit at a time when I hand feed it to him - he eats so little each time that some days I have fed him small amounts twice a day. When I leave the food in his home he won't eat it by himself. I am feeding him the same flavor baby food mixed with the T-rex crested gecko diet just as they had been feeding him at the store where I bought him. I have tried different flavors of food, food without any supplements, food with Rep-Cal supplements (very light) instead of the t-Rex - the only thing that I haven't tried, which I will do tomorrow is puree some fruit myself and offer that to him - any other suggestiong that I haven't tried? He has been eating crickets - he really likes them, but how concerned, at this point, should I be that he is not eating the baby food on his own (he's had plenty of time to acclimate to his new home as it has been 2 weeks since I brought him home)?
- Thanks, Dana
