    I just got a juvenile crested gecko almost a month ago and it won't eat. I have tried using various kinds of baby food, grubs and crickets. It has eaten a few crickets, but not enough, and I have to force feed the baby food. Any ideas on how to get it to eat?

    I would try to move it into a smaller cage with minimal decor. Place some babyfood in there with a few small crickets, then when the crickets get stuck he will eat them with the babyfood and notice they are good. If hes in a small enough cage, he will smell the babyfood and probably go for it. This can be tough to get over for the gecko and there also could be some medical injury but thats pretty rare. This is the only information that I can give, sorry. It worked for me, and i hope it works for you too.
