Feeding the Crested

[Quade]

I am rather new to herps and have just acquired a Crested about 2 weeks ago.

I find it difficult to determine whether he eats or not. It's a baby about 3 inches long.

He doesn't look skinny and the only food I know for sure that he gets is the baby food he licks off my finger every night. I leave baby food in the cage all the time. I tried crickets but he doesn't go for them.

I've heard many people have the same experience where it's difficult to say whether they eat or not.

What was your experience?

Thanks,

Quade
