about how much a week or month do u spend on your cresteds? i'm thinking of getting just one.. how much would that take outa my pocket? USD

It depends on what you feed them really. If you feed crix, it will cost you more a week than CGD. The only problem is that some cresties wont eat it.

i have 3, one adult and 2 youth, and i spend about $4 per week on crickets, but i also give some baby food fruits every night, some nights i mix the CGD in with it. i would say less than $5 a week. but i am going to start raising my own crickets to save some money, as they cost 10 cents each at the pet stores.

Well I have mine on vit/cal enriched fruit baby food and mealworms ... the baby food costs me about $1.00 to feed all my fruit eaters for a week (1.3 crested group, 1.1 giant day, 1.0 r. leachianus)... then I buy mealworms in bulk ..so on average per week its costs me $1.60 in mealworms ...so $2.60 a week ... not bad at all ... but I would pay the same roughly if I had 1 crested or 4 cause baby food is only good for 3 days after being opened, thus with one, its kinda wasted

so providing for one crestie wont be a problem at all. which is good cause i just made a deal w/ a private breeder 75$ including shipping. few week old brown dalmation. i'm excited. i guess i'll be participating in this forum a lot more from now on
