I left some banana baby food for my white-lined gecko to try....and he did. I took it out of the terrarium, then went in an hour later to check on him and found traces of the food on the glass and on top of his cave. It looked the same as it did before he took it, so I'm not sure if he threw it up or if he was just holding it without digesting and just spit it out.

Are you sure he didn't just step in it and then track it around the cage?

[zack]

does it look like a trail or is it all in one spot cuz he might have just walked through it

[mbetournay]

He definitely didn't walk through it. I could tell he had licked some out of the bowl, but then he went to the other side into the plants. I took the dish out then, and then later I saw a little smear on the glass and a big blob on top of his cave.

He may well have regurgitated it...especially if it's something that he's not used to eating.

[mbetournay]

That's what I was thinking but I wasn't quite sure. It's definitely the first time he's tried it. And I didn't see any other signs that he may be sick.

I don't bother with babyfood, but mine all eat the Crested gecko diet (as well as their normal insect staples of crickets, roaches and various worms) and have never regurgitated it.

I always try putting all natural applesauce (the stuff with no preservatives - I forget the brand name) on a small plastic orange dish whenever I give my white-lined gecko Pepe his crickets but he never seems to eat it. I have also tried mushed banana and peach with water but he won't touch that either. Does the Repashy Crested Gecko Diet really make that much of a difference? And could Pepe possibly get by without any fruit at all? I'm wondering because I have heard that, aside from bugs, nearly all members of Gekko seem to eat fruit at some time or other but so far Pepe just ignores it.

You know, Gekko Vitattus seem to go thru phases. I find that mine eat the fruit/Repashy CGD when the weather warms up, so it could be a seasonal thing?
My littlest Male, Itchy, went for months just preferring insects, but I put the CGD in there anyway, because the bugs will gutload themselves on it. Now, I find that 3 out of my 4 White LIneds, will eat it, the female seems to like it best of all.
The crickets and roaches I feed to my Tokays have access to it as well, but I haven't had my Tokays long enough to notice if they are in fact eating the CGD that is in their cage.
But either way, its a good thing to have in there for the bugs to gutload themselves on just in case.

[Sinosauropteryx]

But are they more likely to go for that than they are the mushed fruit and applesauce I give Pepe, or does it make a difference? I'm thinking the Repashy stuff was designed for lizards so it couldn't hurt to try. I just want to know if it will be worth it.
