Mine seem to enjoy locusts, compared to crickets...

Have you tried CGD? If so, have you flavoured it? Instead of water put in fruit like Mango or Banana.. Or even better try the Repashy 2 Part Diet, which is a mix of a base diet, and a selection of flavour nectars.

If you want them to eat more live and only eat CGD then you could try giving them locusts with a dab of CGD to get them interested. Or even roaches, as I'm sure some of the bigger breeders on here feed theirs on roaches.

Hope thats a help.. Sorry if it doesnt make sense, i've just woken up!

Oh yeah, you gotta remember that Cresties only have small stomachs so if you are offering CGD then you may not notice that something has gone from what you offered...

If you have had them about a year then they must have eaten something
Ours love the 2 part Repashy diet as well as crix ,locusts and roaches. Although the adults don't get as much livefood as the young ones. Do you know the weights of them?

yeah weights would be good to see if they are a healthy weight for their age.

I'm having similar problems, buddy just doesn't seem to eat and his weight fluctuates a lot, he is only about 6 months old. I'm going to try the repashy diet, sounds much more intersting than cgd

No, I dont think that there are any UK Stockists yet. The best place to order from is Pangea, many people on here use them!

Here is their 2part diet page..
