I agree with most of the above...baby food is cheap (38 cents per jar if you buy in Canadian Superstore - there is one in Victoria I am sure) and I certainly don't keep it in the fridge longer than 3 days once opened. Crested G. diet is about $8 per tin and only available in one size - if you have only one crested it should last a couple of months I would guess. I never feed mealies to my cresteds as crickets have always been eagerly consumed and the mealies just get out of the dish or do not move enough to get their attention...these guys are definitely stimulated by quick movement.

Guys,

Phillipe De Vosjoli sells the Crested Gecko Diet in bulk. 2.5 lbs for $35.00 shipped. I'm sure that's only in the US, but I bet it wouldn't be much more to get it to Canada.

Check out http://www.giantgeckos.com/bandd.htm

I tried asking for a shippment to Canada but they said they couldnt because it is difficult to send powder over the border. But it cant hurt to try again. Tell me how is goes.
Thanks

I think the best thing to do is buy enough crested geckos to use the whole jar in one night but personaly i would not keep it in the fridge for more than one day.

When you have babies you can give them the gargoyle one, they will grow much faster than on the crested one.
Also, crickets will also make them grow faster than only baby food.
we freeze our baby food, but the texture when you thaw it isn't that great and they seem to dislike it more than a fresh one.

baby food and small superworms are what I feed mine and they do great. I do give crickets once in a while but I doctor up my baby food. They do love the smaller superworms compared to the larger ones.
My 2 cents. LOL
