Treats for Cresteds ?

[MsShlee]

I was just wondering what is a good treat for a juvi crested?

I am feeding him dusted crickets and cgd but though he might want a treat or something once in a while (don't we all?)

I have heard they like bananas but any one else have anything else they give their cresties ?

i dont think treats mean anything to them really, ya know?

but i've heard bananas are a bad thing to give them, some people say once in a great while but whats the point in that. it's only good to them because its addictive.

i really dont know what it tastes like to them or if they care, so idk what would be good for giving treats. treats for mine are basically crickets, im feeding him organic baby food and going to start mixing in cgd. whenever he sees the cricket bag i bring for my tokays he flips out and i throw a few in for him. he used to try to eat the thermometer because he thought it was a cricket. that's also just instinctive for them though.

man you should skip the whole baby food thing and stick to CGD IMO...

well, cost is an issue, i mixed it tonight, if he likes that i'll probably keep doin that. that way i dont have to buy a lot of cgd but he still gets nutrients and whatnot.
