i have fed offered my new crestie tht i got at barking, crickets 3 times since last saturday. and twice he has regurgitated them. why does he keep doing this? is it because i am feeding it too often? or cos he is settling in? or is he too cold or something.
please help _________________ Tom

black crickets, house crickets, silent brown crickets or banded crickets?
I have found that a lot of lizards don't like the taste of the black crickets and have seen them spit them back out. _________________

Lizards rarely regurgitate unl;ess something is causing them too. It can be the taste, but its worth having him checked by a reptile vet for impaction/parasites. Let us know how he does and keep him hydrated as they lose fluid when bringing food up. _________________ Sophxx
