Calcium and vitamin question

[Violeta]

I have been mixing some crested gecko food (powder) with the
regular baby food and I also give them 2 times a week dusted
crickets but I was wondering now if I should mix some calcium
or / and vitamins with the baby food … :confused:

Also, I was just told by a breeder to make my own food : banana,
mangoes and pear + yogurt. Is yogurt ok for cresties ?? and how
do u keep this type of food from getting all brown and yucky
looking or is that ok.

Why don't you just use crested gecko diet by itself?

When you mix CGD with babyfood it ruins the nutrientional balance of the diet. Personally I would just use the CGD with crickets.

I feed my cresties with those ingredients named and have no problems. I actually took that recipe from Hilde and so, if it is good for her cresties, it is good for mine. I feed mine with that food and if it was to be left overnight I take the dish out in the morning. I have no problems with mold or whatever else your concern is. I find if you feed exlusive cgd the crestie does not grow as fast.
By all means, I am not knocking the cgd. It is my choice for the fruit mixture and I supplement with calcium and with Vit. D.
I do use cgd but it is more occasionally than regularly.

I'd like to say that I have no problems with a mixed fruit diet. I recommend CGD because it is more convenient IMO. :)
