CGD for LeO

[dunderpate]

I actually found some CGD for Leopard Geckos today and i didnt even know it existed. Its made by Zoo***, made up of flies exclusively bred and fed in a controlled laboratory environment including a "natural blend of flavouring agents".

An all in one diet eliminating the need for insects, like i did for my cresties, sounds great!! All i had to do was mist the dried flies with water to release their enticing aroma and my Leo would be in there like a fly to S***, except one thing. Leo wasnt interested at all. Smelled it, kinda licked it and then turned awat. Leo turned his nose up more times then i can count on my fingers. I tried over two days without luck, he basically ran away from the food.

When i brought out his usual, he was like a kid in a candy store, bright eyed and all.

So i dont know about you, but im sticking with his gutloaded superworms, mealworms, and the occasional pinky---like maybe for xmas if he's good

Leopard geckos, 99 times out of 100 will only go after a feeder that is moving. They have a prey drive, and hunting their food is part of that. Basically, if it's not moving, they could care less!

Mine is the same way, the food needs to be moving.
She likes a good chase, lol.

well he expressed interest when i put it in a plastic spoon and moved it around his tank. Until he smelled it, then licked it, then he turned his nose up. Cost me $5, worth a try. Oh well i ll leave the CGD to my cresties, as far as i can tell they enjoy it, at least their tongue marks would suggest that.

Leopard geckos are insectivores so it's not natural for them the eat non-living food. Most won't eat the canned foods marketed towards Leopard Geckos.
