how often do you feed a crested gecko?

Question

I'm currently researching crested geckos because I plan on getting one in a few weeks, I'm trying to read everything I can about them so I know what I'm doing when I get it, so far my research is internet based and I've found about 4 really good and helpful sites, the only thing is they tell you vaugly what food is good for them, crickets, fruits and such, but not how often to feed them. so I need some help with that, if you are or have been an owner of a crested, could you please tell me a good feeding schedule I guess is what I'm trying to ask for, also include the food you feed =)

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

crickets twice a week and also twice a week at different times than the crickets either baby food (fruit flavors with a bit of meat flavor for added protein and maybe a tiny bit of a dessert baby food because they LOVE it and of course multivitamins/calicum added)or i highly recommend t-rex's powdered crested gecko food that has all vitamins and nutrients in it. also i would highly recommend you invest in Rhacodactylus: A Complete Guide to their Selection and Care, by Philippe de Vosjoli, Frank Fast, and Allen Repashy. this book is a GREAT reference and a must for any rhac owner.

Answer 2

Every day! I have a crested gecko and I feed him his liquid crested gecko diet (its a powder you mix with water I believe its REP-cal brand). It comes out like watery apple sauce after you let it sit for a few mins. I also supplement his diet with vitamin dusted crickets about once a week.

Answer 3

You need to feed them every night and remove leftover food in the morning.
