feeding crix more than one crested in tank

[ColleenT]

i was feeding some crickets last night, and i watched them, b/c i like to watch them hunt. well, two times, they accidentally went for the same cricket, and ended up biting each other. i was there to separate them, but i wonder if i should put them into separate enclosures to feed them crickets. Do any of you have two or more in an enclosure, and have you had this problem? mine are still too young to sex, and are about the same size. the oe is only slightly larger than the other. and they do not get aggressive towards each other.

I would seperate them into their own enclosure. This way you can monitor thier feeding/growing easier.

I have 2 pairs of young crested gecko's, and I haven't had any trouble so far...you could try offering them more crickets so they don't have to compette

You can put more crix in, but i have read that too many crix can stress baby cresties. Its totally up to you!!! :)

That happened to me before but the fighting stopped once I put more crickets in. Just make sure you don't put too many in so that there won't be too many left overs roaming around.

as it is, i currently put about 12 small crix in the tank. you think i need to put more in?

It really depends on the size and appetite of the individual and the size of the crickets. If they finish the crickets too quickly, chances are there ain't enough for them. Gradually add the number of crickets in each meal and you'll see how many are good for your pair.
