How To Make A Fresh Fruit Treat For Crested Geckos!!

[@cgirl164]

I do have a soul bond with my gecko it’s just one sided

[@tkschrome487]

I would say the geckos think something like “oh this stuff is better than normal” but that’s about it😂😂😂

[@Mrspyderracing]

I think since they have two brain cells they probably think something along the lines of “DERP DERP SPEED DERP DROP TAIL”

[@oinkingchicken]

I know my crestie doesn’t love me but she trusts me every Friday she gets worms and she definitely knows when it’s time and jumps straight to the front of the tank idk I feel like she looks forward to it

[@timberwolfdan5910]

They may not "love" you, but you CAN establish trust between you and your gecko (or any reptile) by the way you treat them.

[@banirapainappuru]

you won't have a bond per say but there is a level of respect and trust that comes with owning these guys, I have one gecko I got months ago that was pretty crazy and would jump every time I had him out, now he's really good at being handled, my geckos see me as a source of food not a threat lol

[@mollythestandardpoodle6513]

thank you for this video, i couldn’t find any gecko treat recipes, that i could make! love it!

[@deanivan5585]

I just love how in every video he is pointing on that your gecko just dont give a shit about you xD

[@jay1033]

I swear you read my mind! I was literally wondering what treat to feed my gecko earlier!

[@Kira-kg4kl]

I used to just mush up a strawberry and a few blueberries and split it between our 2 lol but this is a really nice tutorial to have ^_^

crested geckos with an STI shirt. good taste lol

[@TeamSoBrokesTCG]

I’m making this for myself 😂

Liar, my gecko loves me

[@sarahblancher3817]

I love this video! I can always count on your videos having good information! You are awesome, keep doing what you are doing! :)

[@AltitudeExotics]

Thank you!

[@someoneelse7041]

Hi! I don't know if you will see this but I had a couple questions for you..if you don't mind. I see conflicting info all over the net but you see very knowledgeable and produce AMAZING gekos. I was wondering is it harmful to use frozen, freeze dried or dried organic fruits that are no sugar added and no preservatives added ? You seem like the guy to ask!

[@aidanfordsword6954]

@@someoneelse7041 I think it would be OK. As long as there is water to kinda rehydrate them it should be OK! Also I know its been like 3 weeks.

[@someoneelse7041]

[@CoastGuardLeo]

So if the gecko is enjoying it, what else is there? That’s the big kick out of having this, is watching them enjoy what they have. So I think whether they think one thing or the other about it is irrelevant so long as they’re having a good time. Because them having a good time is what it’s all about.

[@isabel-be4vy]

my gecko crawls on my to cuddle in my neck, but definitely not as affectionate as my beardie

[@scarfacejan3]

My gecko gives me knuckles every time I give him a banana

[@kevinquach61]

Good video never thought about the ice tray trick👍👍

[@Kira-kg4kl]

This how I portion my cats raw food, make it up in bulk, freeze in cube trays, and then transfer the frozen food onto bags or tubs

[@wabajack8250]

Sweet STI shirt man I hope that’s what you drive!!!

[@AltitudeExotics]

It is!

[@richardsanchez5444]

14:39 ill tell you what ill do, ill make one of those for myself, minus the gecko diet, and give my gecko a taste. Adding in the other stuff.

[@Grover8224]

i got a new crested gecko yesterday its so awsome

[@jarelll2502]

Great video! And love the shirt! I drive a 2017 WRX. My cars and my geckos are my biggest hobbies 🤘

[@alainacoffee3977]

My gecko is a very picky eater. She only likes Pangea growth and breeding formula. I tried to give her honey, bee pollen and blueberry before and she wasn't at all interested in them. Do you think there is a chance she would like this? Are there any other gecko diets similar to the growth and breeding formula? She hates watermelon, banana and papaya, banana cream pie, zoomed blend, repashy grubs and fruit, and will only take a few licks of the fig and insect one. Those are all the ones I've tried. And I started her on the fig and insect one and she would barely eat anything until I switched to growth and breeding. Now she's a 2 year old 44g adult. Should I just continue to feed her the growth and breeding one forever?

[@bayleaf666]

great video! 🌼

[@AltitudeExotics]

Thank you!

[@danielwi2001]

this is awesome😁

[@fops8154]

Does the fruit treat make them bigger because my geckos are undersize and I feel they need a boost in growth

[@ukeleleandfrogs8324]

My baby crested is VERY picky and only eats food if it's hand fed and maybe this will help her stop being lazy lol 🤣

[@alainacoffee3977]

I have the same problem. Mine will only eat Pangea growth and breeding and I have to hand feed it. Will you let me know if your gecko eats it?

[@emptysentiment7932]

I've heard some people who accidentally got their cresteds to only eat by hand have retrained them by hand feeding above the bowl and then moving the popsicle stick down

[@verhoffverhoff3276]

Hey I have one male crested gecko when I make the smoothies how much calcium should I put in it

[@Aouf1]

Can you do a review of the thrive hexagon

[@AltitudeExotics]

Yes! That is coming. My local petsmart was sold out of them but as soon as I get one I will review it.

[@TwistedElbow24]

I just purchased one. In the process of setting it up to to be Bioactive for my cresty. Solid tank, already carved out the foam and have to silicone the dirt background today and add the plants after it cures. Neat little project coming along. Wish I could show a picture.

[@Aouf1]

@@TwistedElbow24 oh nice I’m thinking about buying it

[@TwistedElbow24]

@@Aouf1 only issue I have with it is the bottom is a plastic piece siliconed on the inside to the glass. If you want to add a water feature at the bottom I would silicone the outside of the tank bottom plastic to the glass also. Otherwise door/lock is sturdy, lid is removable. Pretty happy with it.

[@daydaytheplantgay]

I just blended up 5 grapes for my baby geck 🦎

[@scorpisces182]

14:26 What to you do with all that extra fruit blend... Id eat it myself lol And Im sure the added calcium would be great for our bones as well lol

[@outbackexotics2265]

would this be okay for mourning geckos? and if my geckos dont like there food, could i mix this in with there diet?

[@AltitudeExotics]

Yes and yes :)

[@hey.chip.]

Do you need to avoid fruit with pesticides or other chemicals?

[@starbyray7828]

Hi Brian, nice to hear someone else that thinks like I do when it comes to certain aspects of nutrition. Is it my imagination or are the gecko wall decor pieces breeding, there seems to be more each video :0)

[@AltitudeExotics]

I wish! I have been wanting a few new ones!

[@MastemaJack]

You would be surprised at how much fruit arrives at a grocery store already moldy. I didn't know you could eat a sticker and not have to worry about it. I'm going to make my crested geckos the treats.

[@melissaehlers4785]

Do you repti safe or filter your water at all? Opinions?

[@Kira-kg4kl]

RO water is probably the best to use, I use my RO filter for my drinking water lol

[@larshappaerts3488]

i am going to give it to my crested gecko.

[@imnotagamer22]

“These are ‘mammal’ emotions” -*human*; we’re not the only ones with cognitive receptors. And I always use the word “tolerates” when it comes to reptiles and amphibians too. Good and informative video though!!

[@lildave5500]

you feed mold to your geckos??? 11:35

[@AltitudeExotics]

If the fruit has mold growing on it I will cut the mold off and throw the fruit in the blender yes.

[@TeamSoBrokesTCG]

It’s safe to eat for them and they eat rotting fruit in the wild.

[@x_thistle]

@@TeamSoBrokesTCG hhhhh

[@sugarstea]

Is it okay to mix up the commercial gecko diet ie Zoo Med with a freshly juiced fruit like watermelon instead of water?

[@perfectramen6278]

You said no citrus but can I feed my crickets and mealworms orange peels??

[@AltitudeExotics]

Yes! Oranges are an excellent gut load for insects

Neptune my gecko does love me he runs up to my hand when I open the cage she won’t go back in the cage He just wanna snuggle and watch shows for three hours so what does that mean

[@Shiffah]

Ok you say they don't like me, but one of mine does reaaal like to cuddle. she even sleeps on my lap, so explain this to me :P

[@starlord7058]

$9 for some tiny icy cube trays that don’t even hold half the jar of food when you can pour the jar out leveled on parchment paper and freeze it inside the parchment paper and then break it up into whatever size you would like, and the cost is.. well, parchment paper.

[@sdoriginal18]

great idea bro!

[@dustinfisher29]

Thank you for dehumanizing.... I like my gecko but he wouldn't care who fills the food bowl. The cat likes me because he gets food from three different neighbors and the dumpster from the turkish takeaway. My dog would rather starve than be more than half a day apart from me.

[@Angoose-uz5ez]

since when were pears red?!

[@tylerniday8935]

Show us your STI!

[@AltitudeExotics]

It will be in the video I put up on Christmas eve ;) I drive it to fedex to pick up some new geckos

[@mrlynx68]

I’m disappointed you didn’t show you feeding them

[@bobert4526]

He must be really fun at party's.

[@AlexandraTch]

Can I make this for my leopard gecko?

[@AltitudeExotics]

Leopard geckos eat only insects, not fruit, so this wouldn't be appropriate for them.

[@apomeaquatics7366]

This magical forest is amazing.. finding friut smoothies on the forest floor good shit..but can i just give him like black bananas and soft mushy grapes and berries just for the nectar...is that wrong if so can u do a video on a 1 natural friut treat or diet ..theres not a magical forest around me

[@OkNoBigDeal]

Your punctuation hurts my eyes and brain.

[@kishathomas3228]

Can a crested gecko's main diet be just insects?

[@AltitudeExotics]

It can not, it should be at least 50/50 with a high quality prepared diet.
