Relax!
It doesn’t necessarily mean there’s something wrong with him.
First of all, Not all geckos like crickets!
While crickets are a common feeder insect for crested geckos, some individuals simply prefer other options like dubia roaches, mealworms, or waxworms.
Try offering different feeder insects and see if your gecko shows more interest.
Look at the size!
Ensure the crickets are the right size for your gecko.
Juveniles need smaller crickets, while adults can handle larger ones.
Offer freshly gut-loaded crickets, meaning they’ve been fed nutritious food that benefits your gecko.
Do these:
- Monitor your gecko: Observe their behavior and check for any signs of illness.
- Check the enclosure: Ensure all parameters are within the recommended range.
- Offer CGD: See if your gecko prefers it over crickets.
- Try different feeders: Offer other insects like dubia roaches or calcium-dusted mealworms.
- Gut-load your feeders: Ensure your crickets receive proper nutrition.
Remember, patience is key.
Don’t force your gecko to eat if they are not interested.
It may take some time to figure out what your gecko prefers and adjust its environment to optimize its health and appetite.
