Got good and bad news: Good news is that Dusty is eating her new flavor of food, tropical fruit. I can tell she wants watermelon flavor but it isn't available right now. Bad news is that I bought her some canned silkworms (she didn't like them but I had other animals that would eat them) but...

Is Flukers Fresh Feeder Vac Pac of crickets good for crested geckos? I would get live crickets, but I'm scared of parasites, and these are parasite free. Also, dusty loves to hunt my finger at night, so I'm thinking shes on a hunger strike for insects of sorts. These aren't alive insects, but...

How constant was the diarrhea? Cause dusty only had it the once and I'm 95% certain it was because I fed her to watery food.

z I'm really sorry for that, sounds like a nasty parasite... Can you see the eggs in the poo? Checking Dusty's poo is easy.

I'm pretty certain she doesn't have that, because she isn't showing any other signs, but what happened when they got crypto? I know a little bit about it, like the symptoms, but not exactly what it is

I was thinking the same thing... I think I was worrying too much. She has tons of energy at night (she'll will keep hunting my finger and what not) so I doubt shes sick, and her poo is very healthy. Shes not terribly skinny, she looks pretty normal for a young gecko. If you look back at my posts...

Could you tell me how I could feed her more? I'm getting worried about her... I don't want to have to put food on her nose for the rest of winter, she really doesn't like that.

I'll try it, its not like she won't eat anything at all, she'll just have a bite or two.

I think I have somewhat of a theory why she wont eat (right now its partly because the house is colder), I think its because the only times I feed her is during day, or only 30 minutes at most after I turn the lights off, so shes probably tired and its not her instinct to eat during day. Could...

Howdy! It is Dusty's Birthday month, and I made her a cake! It's just komodo jelly pots (don't worry, she didn't even take a bite of these, she just wanted banana, even banana I limited though) and banana slices. Also, I have noticed that almost every single thing I post on this website is about...

Exactly, our house temperature is a bit colder than usual and I think that's why shes eating less. Poo is very healthy though (she pooed right on the front pane of glass so... that was annoying but also helpful).

She ate fine last night, I kinda had a suspicion I was overreacting but better safe than sorry. I'll keep her moderated, but all other behaviors are normal.

It doesn't look like crypto, shes not showing any of the other symptoms. She has no loss of energy, shes very energetic at night as usual. I'll feed her today and give updates.

She's been known to refuse food until I give her treat food, which I don't want to do. Also, if this helps, the base of her tail is the same thickness of her neck.

I've had her close to two years, and from a reptile expo. From what I remember, it was a pretty legit company. She was only $20 because of her bent tail (which has never been an issue at all). Like I said, no other behavioral changes, and if I put the food on her nose she will eat it (she...
