Hello,
I just moved to Portland as I mentioned before. I just wondered who else is from
Portland, or surrounding areas tht keep geckos and other herps. I remember a couple.
Thank you for your time,
TQ
With the crested gecko diet, I've found that I have to use just slightly
less than a 2:1 ratio of water to food. If I do 2 parts water to 1 part
food by volume (say, 1 level teaspoon of water to 1/2 level teaspoon of
food), the mixture is slightly too runny. If, however, I use, say, a
slightly rounded 1/2 teaspoon of food with the same amount of water, it
comes out better. I also typically don't notice any sort of gelling
taking place, unless you mean the dehydrated food absorbing the water and
the mixture becoming a tiny bit thicker... I use slightly warm water to
speed this process up, and I mix continuously with a toothpick or some other
small implement until the mixture does not show any more obviously dry bits
of food. At this point, using the ratio I described above, I tend to get a
pretty consistent result.
But is there something I'm not doing or should be doing differently? It
appears that all my gex take the food, though it's a bit difficult to tell
because the amount I give them (due to using slightly deep dishes) is so
much greater than the quantity they can consume. If you think it's
important that I stick to a more strick 2:1 ratio, let me know. This is just
my own experience. Glad the subject was raised though.
