Picky Eater

[DustyTheGecko]

My crested gecko is EXTREMELY picky, and will only eat treat food or watermelon flavor. Unfortunately all watermelon flavor is out in all the stores near me, so I am trying to feed her blueberry but she will only touch a little bit and not anymore. I've always had trouble feeding her, she will only eat handfed and only specific flavors (she HATES plum). I got her some komodo mealworm and banana purry to mix with her regular food so she will like the taste better, and that worked but not much better. Any ideas? She's getting skinny (not dangerously so at all, but skinnier than normal)

If you can get Pangea where you are try one of the flavors that has insects mixed in. There a fig and insect flavor that may be good. Put some on her lips and hopefully she'll lick it off.

OK, thanks! That's the trick I do when she won't eat, i'll put it on her lips so that she has to eat it, and that works but I would prefer her eating normal lol.
