I am a first time reptile owner and would just like to ask a question or two. I have done extensive reading on the internet and have found so many conflicting views. I feed my Crested Gecko baby food with a calcium supplement. Some websites say it is forbidden and some say it is adequate. I can not seem to find the CGD everyone is raving about online in South Africa. Any suggestions as to something else I can feed him as the baby food goes off quite quickly.
Also as it has been cold in Cape Town, he has stopped eating live food and is not really to interested in the baby food either. I feed him every second day now by dabbing some baby food on his nose. I have given him a external source of heat for the night (Blue light) and can see that he is in fact quite active during that period. Is it advisable to put a heating pad under his vivarium during the cold days as I see the temperature stays at about 18 - 20 degrees.I keep the humidity at about 70.
Any help would be appreciated
