They require the variety in their diet for the best results in growth and development. A crested geckos jaw structure is a lot weaker due to their diet.

Either of the two species of crickets are acceptable for the crested gecko. Your crested should be on a weekly feeding routine, this can vary depending on the owner. Some people offer crickets once a week others twice a month. A healthy stable diet for both baby/young and or adult geckos are similar but this could be an accepted schedule: Legend: CGD = Crested gecko diet Crix = Crickets coated with calcium CGD² = leave the previous days gecko diet in another night (same bowl) DOR = Day of Rest hatchlings/babys/juvis: Mondays- CGD Tuesdays- CGD² Wednesdays- CGD days-CGD² Fridays- Crix Saturdays-CGD Sundays-CGD² sub adult/adults: Mondays- CGD Tuesdays-CGD² Wednesdays- CGD Thursdays-CGD² Fridays- Crix Saturdays- DOR Sundays- DOR
