Feeding Schedule

[acpart]

I have had a crestie I got as a baby a year and a half ago. It's been on the same feeding schedule since it was an older juvenile:

CGD Mon, Wed, Fri
crickets Sun. Tues.

I'm wondering if this is too often, since I realize I feed it more often than any of my other geckos (leos, beardie and day geckos). Any suggestions?

I think it depends on the gecko. Is he/she chunky? Does he/she actually finish the CGD after every feeding? How much CGD do you actually give him/her?

I have 2.2.2 crested geckos that get CGD every other day to every third day and crickets once a week. They're pretty contempt with that schedule. If I offer more, the CGD is left uneaten and spoils.

Well I just feed mine every other day, rarely every 3rd day but sometimes i forget but either way they eat CGD 3-4 times a week. What your doing looks good. You could even take one of those days of crickets out if you'd like or just no crickets all together, but what your doing right now looks good.

When I feed the CGD I use 1/2 tsp with 3:1 water to powder. The instructions say 2:1 but I read on another forum Alan Repashy recommending 3:1. I can tell he's been eating it but never finishes it. He's not chunky but big and lean and about 48 grams. He loves his crickets. I think I'm going to see if he eats any more CGD at a sitting if I eliminate one feeding (so I'll end up with 2 CGD's and 2 nights of crickets).

Your schedule sounds good to me
If he is healthy-then what you are doing is just fine
