I was absolutely blessed with a gecko who’s calm as hell, eats well, and doesn’t mind occasionally eating from my hand 💕

I didn't think my gecko was eating until I started putting less in their little cup then I could see when it was eaten down to the bottom. Great video!

I bought the bottle caps off your website! And almost thought it was gonna b a scam because I never got the shipping email, but I just got them yesterday and they are so freaking cute!! Thank you for the handwritten letter!! That was super sweet!

My crestie absolutely refuses to eat live insects which makes me a *little* sad - but they LOVE LOVE LOVE Pangea fig with insects, so it's chill. I loved this video! I appreciate all of the insight!

Me never planning on getting geckos... Still watching this because knowing pet care is just cool

The LED light actually did the trick for me - great tip! It bumped the daytime enclosure temp up by just 2 degrees but it was enough to get my little dude eating better.

I just got my first crestie on Friday and I’ve been worried ever since! 😂 Lots of helpful info here that I’ll be putting to use!

I watched a bunch of Crested Gecko videos like yours and many others before I got mine. And I love her soooo much. She actually doesn’t mind being held and whenever I try putting her back into her tank she crawls more up my arm.

i had an issue where i was feeding meal replacement and mealworms and crickets and im almost positive my little guy was only eating insects, i had to stop feeding him insects to get him to actually eat meal replacement, and on top of that i spent loads of money trying to find a meal replacement he liked, btw its watermelon mixed with fig... and he wont eat anything but those two mixed lol. crazy how theyre all so unique with personalities.

Best advice thus far, thanks so much, I've recently purchased a baby crested gecko and this is exactly what I needed to hear .

I saw my crested gecko eat for the first time in 2 years yesterday!

My crested gecko gets upset
When I don’t hold him
Any time he wants me to pick him up he goes to a very specific spot and waits, and when I walked by, he jumps up and looks at me

You remind me of Lukas Gage! But great content! This really helped. I thought my Rye (my crested) wasn’t eating but he’s just a juvy and wasn’t eating as much as I thought he would, just putting slight dents in his food! Helped me save money and reduce waste😊

Thank you. I just moved my juvenile from the 30 gallon set up I thought was GREAT into a 10 gallon conversion tank, and I will stop the hand feeding that I thought was so cute. Bastian will hopefully start eating on his own now.

I just got my first crestie a couple of weeks ago. He's a juvenile. He will eat crickets (calcium dusted) and lick pangea off my finger. I am super worried about him getting MBD though because he doesn't seem to eat unless it's off my finger. Daytime temp 76 w 50%-70% humidity. Supplement w UVA/UVB bulb

Great video! I just got my first crestie. He's a juvenile maybe 5gs and he hasn't ate and I'm worried he's not eating. I've been looking for poop but haven't seen any. I've put 2 food cups to try and help him find his food. After how long shoukd you be worried that the gecko isn't eating when it's a new gecko like 2 weeks? Also just placed my first order on your website for those food cups! Really cool idea!

Thank you Tyler. I just got 2 new baby crested gecko's. I have had them in my living room but I will put them in my bedroom.

[carashea]

haha the beginning got me good, i thought i had turned your video on and my phone off and then heard tiktok so i had to check my phone lmao

When I first bought mine the owner told me he was only fed this jelly like substance and crickets, I don’t know if the guy knew that I had done my research bc he told me not to put crested geckos on any other diet than the one he had. As soon as we got home tho I started hand feeding my gecko and transitioning him over to pangea, honestly I think he likes it a lot better and I have no problems w his eating.
