CGD, or Crested Gecko Diet, is just fine for a crestie to eat and thrive on. Some people would rather feed them crickets and mealies, but the diet is just fine.

Yep they do fine on it. I keep all of my crested geckos, gargoyle geckos, slender prehensile tailed geckos, and moluccan geckos on this exclusively. Sometimes I mix some crumbled dry crickets in it as a treat. They are healthy and robust. Good luck.

Crested Gecko Diet (CGD) is perfect for them. It’s formulated to provide all the vitamins and nutrients they need to thrive. This should be the main diet offered to them.

They do love to hunt though, so it would be beneficial to offer live food a couple times a month. It will help keep your crestie active and will stimulate the natural hunting instinct that they possess. Crickets would be your best option when offering live prey, but they will readily eat worms as well. Don’t offer worms too often though, as most worms have very little nutritional value and are high in fat. Think of worms as an occasional snack.

Baby food is also great as an occasional treat. I suggest when feeding baby food, to hand feed it to them. This is the perfect opportunity to bond with your crestie and earn its trust. Keep in mind that the baby food should be a tropical fruit such as bananas, peaches or mango.

Hope that helps. Very cool choice too!
