    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

what else do you feed you crested gecko diet to?

several months back I realized I had poured an extra dish of Pangea CGD so I decided to see if my golden gecko would eat it. He polished it off better than my cresteds did so now its a regular part of his diet as well.

I usually mix up a weeks supply in a squeeze bottle but I must have made a bit too much last week and tonight I had some left over so I decided to give a little bit to my sheltopusik and my baby blue tongue skink. By the time I had my bottle washed out the sheltopusik had half his gone already. It shouldn't have been because he was starving because he just had a dozen superworms this morning. I just peeked in on the BTS and his dish was empty as well. Its not going to be a regular part of their diet for sure but at least I know that at the end of the week I won't have any going to waste.

This got me wondering what other kinds of lizards, or any other animals for that matter, does anyone feed CGD to.
 
Dubia and orange head roaches -- when I mix up just a bit too much for the geckos, I'll put the extra in a dish and put it in the roach bins. Have to make sure I don't give them too much or the smaller roaches will get stuck in it.

Once in a while I'll mix some into some greens and veggies for box turtles. They don't really seem to get as excited about it as they do about some other foods (fresh cherries are their favorite, followed by that Zoo Med canned box turtle food that is a very occasional treat), but it is more variety for them.
 
Whenever we have nests of baby starlings fall into our back room, I mix it in with their wet food if I don't have fresh fruit to mash up for it.
 
My Chinese box turtles like it. I put leftover Pangea on their dry food.
Mourning geckos eat it too. So do crickets, dubia, invasive slugs....
 
I've offered it to sugar gliders before. Their natural diet is made up of insects and fruit, so I had a hunch they would like it. The little cuties would lick it right off my finger.
