My crested gecko will rarely eat bugs. He likes to follow them around the enclosure and lick them. I think they end up dying from stress. I probably would if a huge dragon was stalking me and every time I tried to take a breath it licked me to get me running again.

This was a great video. I work in a pet store and I cannot tell you the number of times that I have people come in and some other pet store has told them the wrong information for an animal or they told them just the basic information. I feel like reptiles are the #1 animal sold in pet stores that don’t get treated properly, I try hard to make for sure that people who come into my store leave with a better understanding of how to care properly for their reptile. And I always reference your videos for people to go do research on their own too! So thank you for these videos!

My grandchildren love the intro to your videos. It makes them feel like they’re in the jungle.

I feed my feeder bugs apples and tropical fish food for protein works great

Very well-made and informative video! I'm glad that someone finally made such an informative video stressing the importance of variety in our pets diet. Thanks again and keep up the good work young lady.

I got my juvenile 2months ago and I found he likes insects more than his Pangea but he will eat it. Whenever I notice he hasn’t eaten his diet I will add a small piece of fruit and mash it up in his Pangea for one feeding so he can smell it more and he loves it! He definitely is more interested when there is a good smell to the food.

Oh my gosh! Thank you so so much for making this video!
I am going to get a crestie for my b-day, and this was very helpful.
I'm creating a little menu for it, so I know for sure what to feed it. Again, thank you! <3

We are fortunate to live near Bassett’s Cricket Ranch in Central California. They sell 3 million Crickets a week! ( Must be tough come branding time…lol) I’m feeding my crickets Pangea/Rapashy and they LOVE it. Also giving them some of our Tortoise’s Spring mix. Cheers Tricia. You remind me much of my friend Bridgette. Really enjoyed the Video. No obnoxious music, just clear and concise.

I handfeed my baby crestie just so i know he is eating. I was worried abt him not eating by himself as an adult but now that u said that i have no doubts. Thanks lol

I have a big fear of roaches ... Can i only feed my gecko crickets on insect day or do they need various insects ?

[avaogara]

Hi Tricia, Do you ever put your reptile enclosures outside in the summer to get natural heat and sunlight? I know you can not put glass enclosures out, but do you have any screen enclosures for outdoor use?

[oliviasposts]

4:09 - 4:16 talks about what kind of insects are good for them if your looking for that

[Lroselovely]

This was great to watch! Always nice to know you're doing things correctly, I didn't realize you could feed less than daily as well! I rotate Rapashy/insects every other day at the moment. I rescued two cresties this month, they were cohabbed in a 10 gallon that smelled positively foul, one is a full grown adult and the other is still a baby, (no idea on ages, they were bought from Petco and didn't have any basics like names, food bowls, ect 😢) I luckily had an exoterra available to move the bigger one into and now they're both thriving and becoming so much more friendly and handleable! These guys are NOT hard to care for, but they do require care!
