hey i just got a new crested gecko and it is my first one his name is duke and he seems to not be eating. and i think its the type of food. the lady we got him from gave us some of the food she was giving him but i was thinking a more homemade diet for him is what he is craving. and i found a couple diets that i want to try one is a fruit diet and the other one is to give him baby food. all of them say to add vitamins to it to make sure he is getting them and i was wondering what type of vitamins can i give him without harming him. can i use just normal people vitamins? or do they make gecko vitamins. thanks so much for the help guys sorry if its a stupid question lmao

For the leopard gecko: just keep a dish of mealworms with a little carrot or grain at the bottom (so they stay in and eat). That way the gecko can eat when it wants to. I feed the juvies every day and once they get to 30 grams or so, every other day. Eventually you'll figure out how much is enough.

For the crested gecko: The most common, nutritious diet is the powdered Crested Gecko Diet (CGD) and optional crickets. It's not unusual for the young ones to appear not to be eating it. I went years before I saw my crested gecko actually eating, yet he was growing and pooping. Baby food is generally considered not to be a good alternative and if you can get CGD with the proper supplementation, it seems to be a lot of extra work and complication to try to formulate something on your own that's already been formulated. I guess you could consider pureeing fresh fruit and adding Repashy Calcium Plus.
