Feeding Crickets & CGD

When i received my, first,crested he ate cgd with no problems. I started feeding him crickets on Saturdays and Sundays for 2 weeks and he stopped eating cgd.
That was 2 weeks ago that i stopped. Hes so hungry but i can get him to eat cgd a little bit now.

Is he just not going to eat both crickets and cgd? Hes 10.5 grams. Tyia

Just wait it out, if he’s healthy, he’ll eat eventually. You can also try different flavours or different brands of CGD. Leave him alone as much as possible during this time, to reduce stress. It’s pretty common for younger geckos to go on hunger strikes when fed insects. Once he eats again, only feed CGD for a while. When he’s eating regularly, introduce insects once a week, and see how he does. If he’s fine with both, you can try feeding them twice a week, but i wouldn’t recommend feeding them two days in a row.

Thanks for the confirmation. It will be a long while before he gets 1 cricket per week.

He’s starving, lol. He has been launching himself at me and my hand while cleaning.

Hes not underweight so I’m not worried. I did like his growth spurt from just 4 crickets a week though.

Don’t think he’s starving, the launching at everything that moves is pretty common when they get insect-fixiated, they’ll often do it even if they were fed the day before :joy:
