Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Crested Gecko Diet MRP Repashy
Hey I am getting a pair of Cresties and wanted peoples opinions on the MRP diet. I know that its a great product and I am going to use it obviously but I wanted some input on the flavor nectars. They have flavors that range from mango, banana, passion fruit and even rose. What have you been seeing is the favorite flavor in most of your geckos? I'm sure they will eat it no matter what however I wanted to know if people had more success with specific flavors than others.

My Lygodactylus williamsi wouldn't eat regular Repashy CGD at first, but then I simply gave them some peach babyfood--that got them interested. I mixed it 50/50 with the CGD, and after a week I offered them plain (regular formula Repashy) CGD, and they ate it without issue.
Now they will eat regular Repashy CGD, Mango 2-part Repashy, Clark's CGD, and pretty much anything else that I put into that specific feeding cup, lol. (L. williamsi are just incredible chowhounds).
From this I learned, though, that not all geckos recognize plain CGD as being a food item until they actually taste it, so they may need to be coaxed with something that has a stronger fruity smell first.

I agree! I breed L williamsi and P standingi and my standing's are actually more picky about the repashy. They will eat baby food any day though! My lil ones are a piece of cake now though. I usually get cherry because it smells so good and they seem to like it ok although I think the mango is popular with everyone. My Rhacs will eat about anything except the chahoua! She is the pickiest gecko I have and will eat very little of the repashy and is even picky about which bugs she will eat. I even have halmaheras on repashy and out of all my geckos, they will clean their bowls first, any flavor!

I like the regular old CGD. Tastes kinda like a banana nut bread flavored wheat germ heath food shake....

Thanks for the link, Sam. I wish they had an actual banana flavored repashy. Everyone loves banana!

A lot of people kept saying "rose" was a favorite flavor. So some of the fixes/medications have this flavor. Mine would never touch the stuff.
They all love banana though. It depends on the gecko I guess. I had a chahoua that liked strawberry, but wouldn't touch it unless there was mango mixed in. But he would attempt to eat the bowl (not even kidding, I had to literally use a small dog bowl for him so he wouldn't hurt himself) if I used banana.
I honestly stick to the 1 part diet and just mix in the flavoring a little depending on how picky a particular gecko is. I have to mix in a little apple sauce for my Oedura to even touch some CGD.
