So I just got my geckos they are crested geckos two in my terrarium I have powder food and crickets I just dumped about 10 Inside and I left water and powder together mixed not sure if that’s correct I have a (you’ll see in the picture) some sort of vine set up where the two geckos are mounted if they don’t move are they dying? Is their habitat only ground or are they also climbers? I have another decor of a cave set up back and a log I want the best for my pets so if anyone can help thx should I remove the vine? Are they used to the ground? How can I get them to eat? Any help of or more is welcome.

Congrats on your geckos. Here's some basic information:
1. Crested geckos are arboreal so they will usually not be on the ground. I do have some that may choose to sleep on the ground during the day. The one in question has a hide on the ground and sometimes he's in it during the day.
2. If you're looking at your geckos not moving during the day, they're probably asleep but of course since they have no eyelids it's hard to tell. They may also not move much at night. It depends on the gecko
3. Hopefully your geckos are both females and your enclosure is larger than 12"x12"x18"
4. Yes, you mix the powder and the water until you get a mixture about the consistency of a frappe. I change out my CGD (crested gecko diet) twice a week. It's fine to just put the crickets in there.
5. Google crested gecko care sheets and read a bunch. Usually the information that repeats is the good stuff and the unusual or contradictory info is the stuff it's worth asking about here.
