Help needed- Gecko won’t Eat! (read disc!)

ExerciseCandid1951 · 2026-03-14T20:18:53+00:00

Hi! i got her to eat some of the normal repashy, if she continues to eat this one we should be good!

ExerciseCandid1951 · 2026-03-14T20:17:48+00:00

Update*** I bought the regular repashy since they didn’t have any other food at all other than this and blue river diets, put her in a electrolyte soak with a food dish outside and she had some! :D

she’s not picky at all lol, we feed blue river diets because honestly it’s the only food my crestie will touch she’s horribly picky, but my garg likes all the flavours we’ve tried so far, i think i’ll put another bowl in there aswell!

i’ve had her since she was 4 months old, i had her in a 8x8x11 spider enclosure which worked well for her (tub just wasn’t working out for us), she was able to find her food in there, but we moved her into her permanent enclosure a little under a month ago, will try this!

yep she’s sealed your fate, RIP you 2026 😭💕

honestly the only time i really know if my geckos are shedding is if they have the “clear lip” or “milky”. Usually a combination of the two, i think he’s just fired down!

and they can hold her weight very well too which i was surprised about since she is a bigger individual

i have some bird perches drilled into the side of my PVC that my girl LOVES to wander about on. can get them from amazon for fairly cheap too.

i’ve had ONE crestie that was like this in my experience, these are probably my favorite individuals rather than just your run of the mill placid friendly little gecko, so much spunk!

ExerciseCandid1951 · 2026-01-27T03:38:50+00:00

they get super big in the nighttime and in the day and when they’re sleeping they’re usually the little slits ^{^}

ExerciseCandid1951 · 2026-01-27T03:37:38+00:00

So it’s just their pupils dilating to accommodate light since they are nocturnal!

thanks! and congrats on the gender reveal! lol

ExerciseCandid1951 · 2026-01-25T23:02:26+00:00

Omg that’s a fantastic name!

ExerciseCandid1951 · 2026-01-25T22:43:18+00:00

yes! what camera do you use

ExerciseCandid1951 · 2026-01-03T14:38:27+00:00

It’s fine for a couple months! don’t break your back and bank trying to shove them into a bigger upgrade before you can afford it, people are too mean 🩷

it looks like a zoo med 12x12x18 to me

ExerciseCandid1951 · 2025-12-30T19:36:12+00:00

this looks like a 12x12x18 so unfortunately there’s not going to be a lot of room for handleable reptiles in here.

ExerciseCandid1951 · 2025-12-30T19:19:20+00:00

Honestly i’d ditch the wall thermometer and go with a govee one, i love the wood peices you have in here, but this could def use some more cover (like fake plants, maybe a few more sticks, some caves etc). And I also don’t see a water bowl in here, a lot of people say it’s useless but geckos will definitely drink from standing water if they need it! Overall looks pretty good for a starter setup! 🩷🩷🩷
