Feeding schedules by age, crested gecko care

Feeding schedules by age, part of the Geck Inspect crested gecko care guide.

Level: beginner. Part of: Diet & Feeding.

Adults that gorge on CGD every night get fat, develop fatty liver disease, and fail to breed. Three to four feedings per week is enough for a non-breeder.
Never fast a hatchling "to build appetite." Missed meals at this stage compound, a hatchling that skips 3 meals has lost a meaningful fraction of its body weight.
