Bought my first crested gecko yesterday... he
/she's young but I've never cared for a cresty before- or any reptile this young(6months) is there way I could ensure it stays healthy? He hasn't eaten the food pellets I put in there for him today or the small cricket- he licks the water droplets off the glass from his misting/ (there's a little mineral drop I put in there)
will be bumping pics- is the indent in the spine a sign of dehydration?

what the fuck did you buy?

Read crested gecko care sheets. There are many.
Buy a jar of Repashy crested gecko diet. Follow the instructions on the jar. Throw those pellets in the garbage and remove the crickets if your gecko isn't eating them.
Do not attempt to hold your gecko until he is eating on a consistent schedule.

These not alright?

No. You want Repashy crested gecko diet or Pangea crested gecko diet. Look up care sheets on the goggles and read them please.

I don't care what that bottle of yours says. Your gecko has likely never eaten a pellet like that before and probably doesn't even recognize it's edible. The breeder/pet store almost certainly were feeding gecko Repashy before you got it.

No. There's lots of completely useless rubbish sold for reptiles because no one's regulating the market and no one really cares. Just because you see it on a store shelf doesn't mean it's any good or even safe.

This. All of it. Get the repashy food
