Hey just got my first crested gecko. First question is when is a good time to sex it? Its still a baby so i know it will be awhile but a rough est of how many months. Also the guy that i bought the gecko from said if we feed it fruits and vegs to let them rot alittle and get soft before feeding does anyone do that?
 
A little research can go a long way, I suggest finding a good care sheet online and reading through it.

I do not know anyone that feeds fruits and vegetables to their geckos. Maybe some banana every once in a great while, however it is just not practical or suggested to do this. There are complete diets available for crested geckos at nearly any pet store, these are much more suited to feeding your gecko and keeping it healthy.

Sexing your gecko can be difficult. A loupe will be required. Some geckos can be sexed as early as 3-4 grams, however some will take until they are 14-15 grams to be sure.

I really would suggest finding a care-sheet, or multiple, online and reading through them.
 
I did read some care sheets on different websites. i bought food from petco that was for crested geckos and it seems to like it but he wont eat unless i bring him to the food or bring the food to him. But thanks for the info

What kind of food did you buy? I know some Petco chains carry the Trex version of CGD.
