Here is the tank setup. It's a 20g hex tank.

I have tried feeding a couple tiny pinhead crix but it doesn't really seem interested. Should it be having crix at this age? What are some food ideas? We have made up 7 different flavors of baby food for him, which he seems to like.

I just realized that the post was made by my account. It's supposed to be from my boyfriend. His username is Tequila. LOL

Great looking crestie and enclosure! I recommed using paper towel as a substrate for such a young gecko. I have personally witnessed my own gecko choking on loose substrate while hunting crickets and read posts of choking resulting in death. Its all up to you though. Best of luck with the little guy! :)

I don't feed crix in the tank. There are too many places for them to hide. I have a seperate bin for feeding so i'm not worried about him choking.

Your gecko might not be eating crix because it hasn't settled down to its new home. Give it a few days and see what happens. If you run a search 'recipe' in this forum you will find tons of great recipes that members have posted.. I personally use the Crested Gecko Diet but Im tempted to try out a few recipes.

Cute Gecko,
gotta love the yellow.
Nice enclosure. He's a little small for coco fiber and might feel more secure if you feed him crickets in his area instead of a bin.

He looks a lot like my Denver (see a few threads down) when he was little, and I notice you are from Cole Harbour. Did you get him from Neil Meister?

Cute little sucker. When they're that small they really grab a hold of you to work on the addiction. Who could resist that little guy??? :)
