How To Feed Tiny Baby Crested Geckos

It was time to feed some baby geckos so I made a video while doing it. Some major cuteness with baby geckos is always fun! I give some tips and tricks on feeding these little guys while we do it.

I found that the babies are more crickets hungry when you put the crickets into their enclosures. Since it’s a space they’ve already established, they immediately went into hunting mode. My guess is they are somewhat stressed that they’re suddenly exposed to a new environment without anywhere to hide, and thus they are more concerned about their well-being rather than hunting for food. Hope this helps.

Thank you for this video! Have had our baby for a week and I want to be sure I see him eating so I will try this tonight!

hi again! I just got my first crestie and I think she's settling into her new environment really well! I've only had her for 2 weeks and the first week I left her alone completely (changing food and water obv) to get used to her new space and only now have started trying to handle her. I've been able to feed her off my finger once and twice with the end of a paintbrush. I've also been putting my hand completely in the enclosure so that she gets used to my presence as a good thing. I've already seen great progress in only 3 days... when I would put my hand slowly near her at first, she would jump away, but now I'm able to put bring my hand millimeters away from her face without her moving! I'm just wondering, I don't want to scare her away by touching her, but how do you start handling your cresties? I'm thinking I should I try touching/lifting her up from her chin and if she jumps away, I'll leave her for the night so as to not chase her/scare her and try again the next day.

This video helped SO much. Thank you.... I have 5 babies and I am really struggling to get them to eat from dropping some on their nose. I love your technique and explanation.

Yay, I have three little fertilized eggs that I am waiting on. This will be my first time, and I am so excited. And you are so right about saving little spoons and bowls. I did the same thing. My children are grown and moved out, and I have replaced their bedroom with a reptile room. Sort of an empty nest thing that I never thought would happen, but I have been a Reptile Mom for over three years now. So I have bought crested geckos that were about three months old, but I figured this would be an experience to just have a few of my own hatch here. I would love to watch the video on your little enclosures. I couldn't find it. Can you send me the link to the little video or tell me how you went about making those cute little enclosures. And I'm assuming they are housed alone even at that young age?

How often should I feed my baby gecko ?

[BlisterBiscuit]

He’s very scared to eat as it’s his first day but the spoon really works well! I had to feed him inside the tank but I gave him the spoon and fed him just little bit. That’s what he was hungry for.

Where did you get the plastic enclosures?

[Riskybizness]

What type of enclosures are those? Thank you

Our baby is literally watching this lol we got our crested gecko about 3 wks ago based on his size and he weighs 3 g. I am thinking he’s maybe two or three months old. But I’m just worried he’s not getting enough to eat, but he’s maintaining his 3 g since we brought him home but he hasn’t gotten any bigger so being longtime bearded dragon mom I just was concerned about if we were feeding him enough since he’s my first.

Adding extra calcium to a balanced diet not good idea .
