eating issues

[chrisf]

I recently acquired a new baby P. Grandis....he/she is eating crickets great, in fact, growing very fast, however, he has never tried the Repashy MRP.....I've tried it plain, mixing it with honey, baby foods, but nothing....I'm concerned about him not eating a varied diet....I do dust the crickets with Repashy's calcium plus.....any suggestions?.........thank you...........

Possibly make it a little thicker so you can see dents from his/her tongue it's possible it is eating you just don't see it happening.

Yes, it's possible he eats such a small amount that you don't even notice. You could try real fruits such as bananas and mangos. Add the supplements to the real fruit puree.

Hey Chrisf. I know I'm late to this and you have probably figured it out... I too got a guy from Island Day Geckos, and Rob talked me though leading the gecko to the Repashy/Pangea. I had to show him, by dropping the food into the cup, where exactly it was. I had two cups and poured it over and over until he realized "Oh! There it is. Yum!"

My guy loves Pangea, especially the Banana Apricot, over the Repashy. He looks insulted when I put Repashy in there now. YMMV.

Oh, and I fed him Repashy/Pangea by finger really early on until he figured it out. He gladly licked it off my finger by the second day.

The gecko in question was not the ones from Rob, however, the ones I got from him actually don't eat the Repashy either. I'm going to try and trick them by pushing a cricket in the mush so they get some of it that way. Thanks!.......
