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!
Isabel Gramajo Awww thank you so much for your support! Hopefully people will learn to do their own research more often and not rely so much on the people working at pet stores.
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.
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
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!
Reptilian Garden, I'm one from your subscriber.... Today is my special day because, today is my birthday 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎂🎂😭, thank you for the new video, i enjoy it.... Have a nice dayy🍀
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.
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!
TIP: I feed my crickets the food mixes that my gecko does not like even though I had already bought it! Honestly, bugs will be bugs and eat everything so it helps get rid of the stuff I don't need!
Have you ever experienced an asexually hatched crestie? I, as of yesterday, have come across an amazing surprise lmao I got my crestie back in April of last year, who was housed on her own from hatch, and has never came into contact with another gecko. As of 7 o clock yesterday, what I assumed was a really fat egg, turned out to be an actual fertilized egg (?) Which is, rather insane.
Good morning from PA!!! Hope you have a great day Tricia!!! I have 5 cresties but I still watched the video, never too smart to learn new things! Keep up the great work!
Do you know this all by heart? If so bloody impressive really! Regarding all your animals I'd definitely need some sort of list haha. Wriggling Leroy's (my leo) food around helps sometimes with new food btw 🍃 As of late I happen to watch your vids when back from home depot with new plants to admire, so rather fitting all in all...
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?
I've never thought about bee pollen that`s a good one so i googled it seem it`s good in yogurt too i am gonna try that with some roasted grasshopper 🤣😂🤣just having fun on the cooking channel lol. no crested gecko`s here but still learned something !!
I offer both for mine everyday, I just put like a little bunch of crickets and just let him hunt all of them till they're gone and then replace them when they're gone, and I always have a little cap full of pangea in there everyday, hes a baby but hes growing fast
Awww thank you so much! I have a red footed tortoise care video and diet video! I plan to do more tortoise videos once I gather more information on other species 💕
I had a baby crestie I ordered from morph market and it was hesitant to eat for the first 10 days or so. I've started adding a drop of honey to its pangea and repashy and it's eating well now. I think this is supposed to help with growth too
I know this is an older video but I was wondering.. How often should they be fed insects? Like how many times a week and can they be fed more than one on the same day or just one however many times a week?
Hi! My names Angel! I was given a couple crested geckos by a friend and I’ve been doing what he told me but I’d rather make sure they are getting the proper nutrition as well! I really loved and enjoyed what you said in the video it really helped. I was wondering if by any chance you had a written or printable rough draft of the diet and care needed? Or know a site were I could print it out
This might be a dumb question but I was just wondering if all they eat in the wild is fruit and insects then why are they missing out if we feed them that? I have just got a crested gecko and I have Pangea for the baby but yeah I was just wondering
Hello, thank you for such an informative video! I have been doing a ton of research and prep work before getting our first crested gecko. I have set up a bioactive enclosure, purchased reptisafe, repashy ,and will be picking up some supplements today. I want to make sure we are ready when we bring our little guy home. I have one quick question, I have seen that a lot of people on youtube breed insects for their multiple reptiles. Their setups tend to be large to accommodate so many reptiles, but since we are only keeping one pet crested gecko it seems like maybe this a bad choice? Can you please advise? Should I try to breed my own insects, is it necessary or cost effective for only one reptile?
Question for anyone out there, with the different types of Pangea is it ok to mix them? Some with insect and some without to give them all the nutrients needed?
So I’ve been feeding my crested gecko meal worms for like the past year, because he won’t eat that mushy fruit stuff and I thought it was fine but recently I found that they have too much protein in them for him so what do I do?
Hi I'm getting a baby crested gecko, so can they eat the pangea food too cuz some people say they should eat different things and also how often should I feed insects and should I dust them with calcium D3
I crush up dried cricket every so often (I'll boost it up now) and mix it in with its Repashy/Pangea and my Crested will eat that..do you think that is ok for getting insects into its diet? Also great video! Very helpful! Thank you so much!
Ahh thank you for posting this!! I’ve been doing crested gecko research for a while now and I’m getting one soon, and i sometimes don’t trust what google says lol.💕💕 I love your channel!
i can't believe my petco sells them, but then doesn't sell the proper food ??? i was just given a young adult crestie by a friend of mine who couldn't care for him and i was scrambling to find food. had to order online... still infuriating how petco sells the animal but not the proper food
Thank you so much for this video, I've recently taken over the care of a beautiful 8 year old crested gecko still with tail and I'm so afraid of failing the little guy and this video was a big help just 1 question if I may I've added a 26w uvb bulb to his enclosure which I've been leaving on for 6 hours a day and he seems to come out of his hide away and sits directly underneath it for about 2 to 3 hours before it goes off, is this OK for him or is it going to harm him ... he is very active at sundown
You only feed your geckos every three days? Mine is still growing but at the moment I feed him Pangea on day 1, 2-3 insects on day 2 and nothing on day 3. If I continue this when he is an adult will that be too often?
I rotate my little guy between Repashy Mango and Pangea Watermelon; I don't feed specific feeder insects, but he loves hunting the cleanup crew in his bioactive setup 😅🤣 Knowing that, I feed the cleanup crew some of the Repashy isopod and gutloading formulas a couple times a week; I don't worry about the lack of dusting as the isopods have a good Ca:P ratio unlike crickets and other common feeder insects
My 2 year old gecko is afraid of insects due to bad experience at the pet shop, so I don’t feed him those as he won’t eat them and we end up having to have them die before he eats them. Is it ok if I just feed him just rapashi and fruit snacks?
Hey I just rescued a crested gecko.. He'll eat insects easily but I'm having a HARD time getting him to eat the Repashy.. I dunno what to do.. Please help!!
hello i was thinking about having a crested gecko but i needed to ask you something does the pangea fruit mix have a complete diet so does it need insects in the diet ?
Hey how are you? I own 2 crested 1 is almost a year and doing well the other is still a baby almost 2 3 months and is a beast eating never refuses a meal eats anything moving it just keeps eating as much as I would offer it’s pooping still good and going for anything I offer is that good?
I'm planning on getting a crestie in the future, but when you're using powdered food do you mix in supplements with the food or not, or does the food already come supplemented with calcium/vitamins?
The food usually already has all the needed vitamins including calcium and D3. I say usually because I only know that Pangea and Repashy have these vitamins included but I haven’t looked into other brands. Hope this helps
You’ll just have to keep trying. Maybe offer different kinds if Insects to see if it’ll interest your crestie! Sometimes they can be picky and have preferences .
Some adults stop eating insects and thats ok because they are already grown, its the younger ones that love insects. Just try pangea with insects and see how he likes it
Hi, my gecko is really weird, he always bites the food stick like it’s an insect and I don’t know why, he also only eats out of his food bowl if I put Dubias in it, I never hear about anyone else having the biting problem. Anyone have a theory or solution?

I always did the same thing. There’s no harm in being sure by hand feeding. Keep up the great work! 💕
My grandchildren love the intro to your videos. It makes them feel like they’re in the jungle.
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.

This helped so much!! I just got a juvenile crested gecko, and this has helped me so much, thank you 😊 😊
I am so happy this helped! Good luck with your little one!
I have a big fear of roaches ... Can i only feed my gecko crickets on insect day or do they need various insects ?
Me too…
i'm getting my crested gecko tomorrow, and i have a mango tree in my front yard! he'll have a good fresh snack every now and then
Lol I saw another one of your comments on another crestie video! I am also looking and doing research for a future crested gecko!!
Just got my first ever crested gecko she’s soooo cute and such a helpful video like all of them !💜
I'm going to get my first crested gecko today so perfect timing! It's a rescue from an accidental litter and its name will be Kashi :)
Omg!! Congratulations and good luck with your little Kashi 💕💕💕
My boyfriend saw the title and said “whaaaat? 😧 she EATS crested geckos???” 🤦🏼♀️
😂😂😂😂😂
This is probably the funniest comment 😂👍🏼 I’ve seen!
Fish Anonymous he was horrified 😂🤣
brooke elle I can only imagine 😂 so do you have a crested gecko ?
Fish Anonymous we only have snakes, but a created gecko would be super cool some day 🤔 maybe soon
so glad I watched this. I went to the ONE reptile spot near me & they told me different things so i looked on here. very helpful ! love your videos
I’m getting a crested gecko at a expo next month so I’m trying to get all necessities an things I need to know now, thanks ☺️
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!

TIP: I feed my crickets the food mixes that my gecko does not like even though I had already bought it! Honestly, bugs will be bugs and eat everything so it helps get rid of the stuff I don't need!
Have you ever experienced an asexually hatched crestie? I, as of yesterday, have come across an amazing surprise lmao I got my crestie back in April of last year, who was housed on her own from hatch, and has never came into contact with another gecko. As of 7 o clock yesterday, what I assumed was a really fat egg, turned out to be an actual fertilized egg (?) Which is, rather insane.
Ive heard of rare instances happening like this!!!
Cresties can't reproduce asexually. If the egg was fertile she 100% would've come into contact with a male at some point.
Great Video! I just got a baby created gecko and actually just started making videos on him!! This is very helpful!! ❤️
Just got my crested gecko a couple days ago ! I’m to be here watching your video
Good morning from PA!!! Hope you have a great day Tricia!!! I have 5 cresties but I still watched the video, never too smart to learn new things! Keep up the great work!
Good morning!!!! And thank you so much for supporting me. I appreciate you! 💕💕💕

Solid video. Thanks for the info! 🙌🏻
4:09 - 4:16 talks about what kind of insects are good for them if your looking for that
Wow Tricia this is such an awesome video right here I love it.😃👍
Thank you!!!! 💕💕💕💕
Reptilian Garden You’re very welcome. Much love.❤️
Thank you for such great information.
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?
I would definitely provide D3 for a crested gecko, but all the crested gecko diets have synthetic D3 in them, and I don’t want to risk overdoing it!
yay! thanks for having emmy in your video!!🥰🥰😍
Thank you for sharing!!!!
My crestie hates rapashy and loves pangea lol. Idk why but my friend also has a crestie and her gecko hates it too XD
I've never thought about bee pollen that`s a good one so i googled it seem it`s good in yogurt too i am gonna try that with some roasted grasshopper 🤣😂🤣just having fun on the cooking channel lol. no crested gecko`s here but still learned something !!
I’m so glad!! People can have it in their tea too! My beardie loves it!
Dope video! Is super worms more acceptable than mealworms or are they just as bad?!
I offer both for mine everyday, I just put like a little bunch of crickets and just let him hunt all of them till they're gone and then replace them when they're gone, and I always have a little cap full of pangea in there everyday, hes a baby but hes growing fast
Thank You for all this information there was quite a few things I didn’t know this is an Awesome Video 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you so much for your support! I’m glad it was helpful 💕💕💕
Thank you so much for the help! I wasn’t sure how often I would br feeding this was very helpful
LOVE the picky eater tips.
Thank you for sharing your videos! Love watching ❤️
Thank you!!! 💕💕💕
Thank you so much for answering my many questions

Great video❤❤can you maby do a tortoise care video because i iam going to get a tortoise and you really enspire me every single day ❤❤❤❤
Awww thank you so much! I have a red footed tortoise care video and diet video! I plan to do more tortoise videos once I gather more information on other species 💕

This is perfect im getting one in a couple weeks
me too! :)
I’m getting one and now it’s lock down so I can’t get one yet
Question for anyone out there, with the different types of Pangea is it ok to mix them? Some with insect and some without to give them all the nutrients needed?
a crested gecko can have a diet without alive animals?
Can you do this for over reptiles?! I love this so much and would love the insight on other diets!
Absolutely! So far I have one for beardies, blue tongue skinks, veiled chameleons, and red footed tortoises!
do an update on your redfoot tortoise
I got 6 cresties 2 chewys 2 leachies and 2 gargoyles i love new Caledonian geckos
They are my favorites!!!
So I’ve been feeding my crested gecko meal worms for like the past year, because he won’t eat that mushy fruit stuff and I thought it was fine but recently I found that they have too much protein in them for him so what do I do?
I need new info. I am worried about one gecko
great vid! I had googled the mealworms the other day and gave my baby one small one, I hope he passes it :(
Hi I'm getting a baby crested gecko, so can they eat the pangea food too cuz some people say they should eat different things and also how often should I feed insects and should I dust them with calcium D3
I thought crested geckos didn't need to eat insects? If I'm going to offer crickets can this be once a weeknor month?
Great information great video kiddo hope you are doing well love your videos kiddo thanks
Very helpful! Thanks for putting my baby in there🥰💚💚
Thank you for sharing!!! 💕💕💕💕
I crush up dried cricket every so often (I'll boost it up now) and mix it in with its Repashy/Pangea and my Crested will eat that..do you think that is ok for getting insects into its diet? Also great video! Very helpful! Thank you so much!
Always a pleasure
Well that answer alot of questions if I have any I will ask.
This video is gold thanks ❤️🙌
thank you , i got my first 2 boys today🤪🤪🤪😍😍😍
I’d rather learn from someone who actually has experience so I’ll learn from you. Despite not having a crested gecko of my own
Aww thank you! If you ever plan to get one at least you’ll have some knowledge on them 💕
Reptilian Garden indeed
Would you still give calcium with D3 if they are eating Pangea?
I do use vitamin d3 when I feed insects!
How often should I feed my crested gecko crickets
My crestie will eat anything 😂
Ahh thank you for posting this!! I’ve been doing crested gecko research for a while now and I’m getting one soon, and i sometimes don’t trust what google says lol.💕💕 I love your channel!
How many insects should I feed and how often? I just fed 3 large super worms to my sub adult gecko but is this too much?
If i provide calcium with d3 do i need UVB?
i can't believe my petco sells them, but then doesn't sell the proper food ??? i was just given a young adult crestie by a friend of mine who couldn't care for him and i was scrambling to find food. had to order online... still infuriating how petco sells the animal but not the proper food
Do they have to eat bug
Thank you so much for this video, I've recently taken over the care of a beautiful 8 year old crested gecko still with tail and I'm so afraid of failing the little guy and this video was a big help just 1 question if I may I've added a 26w uvb bulb to his enclosure which I've been leaving on for 6 hours a day and he seems to come out of his hide away and sits directly underneath it for about 2 to 3 hours before it goes off, is this OK for him or is it going to harm him ... he is very active at sundown

Could you also use dried hibiscus too? Or do you HAVE to use the hibiscus that you grow and is like fresh?
I rotate my little guy between Repashy Mango and Pangea Watermelon; I don't feed specific feeder insects, but he loves hunting the cleanup crew in his bioactive setup 😅🤣 Knowing that, I feed the cleanup crew some of the Repashy isopod and gutloading formulas a couple times a week; I don't worry about the lack of dusting as the isopods have a good Ca:P ratio unlike crickets and other common feeder insects
Would it be possible to make one about their lighting please?
If im using repashy cgd and then dusting with repashy calicium plus is that okay? I dont have a uvb
My 2 year old gecko is afraid of insects due to bad experience at the pet shop, so I don’t feed him those as he won’t eat them and we end up having to have them die before he eats them. Is it ok if I just feed him just rapashi and fruit snacks?
Hey I just rescued a crested gecko.. He'll eat insects easily but I'm having a HARD time getting him to eat the Repashy.. I dunno what to do.. Please help!!
My baby gecko is such a picky eater. We tried to feed him crickets and he just doesn’t want them.
We also feed him by hand.
hello i was thinking about having a crested gecko but i needed to ask you something does the pangea fruit mix have a complete diet so does it need insects in the diet ?
Hey how are you?
I own 2 crested 1 is almost a year and doing well the other is still a baby almost 2 3 months and is a beast eating never refuses a meal eats anything moving it just keeps eating as much as I would offer it’s pooping still good and going for anything I offer is that good?
What is ubb????
Do supplements come in the gecko Pangea
if i don't have a uvb light for my gecko, should i be giving them calcium w/ d3 supplements?
I'm planning on getting a crestie in the future, but when you're using powdered food do you mix in supplements with the food or not, or does the food already come supplemented with calcium/vitamins?
The food usually already has all the needed vitamins including calcium and D3. I say usually because I only know that Pangea and Repashy have these vitamins included but I haven’t looked into other brands. Hope this helps
Great info 👍 like always! I will get one in the longer futute - @Reptilyans
Love your videos also you look very pretty today 💖💖💖
Awww thank you! 💕💕💕
my female crested LOVES insects, my male is 4 years old and he couldn't care less, he doesnt like them at all 🤣
How do i get my crestie to eat insects? I have some (yes i supplement it), and he refuses it unless i crush it into his food lol
You’ll just have to keep trying. Maybe offer different kinds if Insects to see if it’ll interest your crestie! Sometimes they can be picky and have preferences .
Some adults stop eating insects and thats ok because they are already grown, its the younger ones that love insects. Just try pangea with insects and see how he likes it
@@luvlost03 he loves pangea with insects and he likes it. He is 8 grams at 6 months👍 it would be wonderfull if he ate live tho lol
By any chance is there anyone near Sheffield who has a spare crestie tank thats around 18x24 inches that i could buy/take off their hands?
Thankyou
do you know how long i can leave the repashy in the cage before needing to throw it away
24 hours. It should have this info on the container.
My baby crestie pooped right on the ledge next to the food cup. I think it pooped and ate at the same time LOL (I cleaned it up right away dw)
Hi, my gecko is really weird, he always bites the food stick like it’s an insect and I don’t know why, he also only eats out of his food bowl if I put Dubias in it, I never hear about anyone else having the biting problem. Anyone have a theory or solution?
Do you breed and sell created geckos??
genuine question regarding the supplement/vitamin section. how come CGD company don't infuse their mix with these?
I think they do, they just need extra
