Water / CGD ratio

[The Golden Gecko]

Hey guys, im always seeing people say on the forum that they use 2 or 2.5 / 1 water to CGD ratio but i use like 1.8/1 . whenever i use larger ammounts the water separates from the cdg, how do you guys manage these larger ammounts of water, ive tryed shaking and blending and it still doesnt work

Stir it up with a spoon and it will mix back together. I've never had a issue after a bit of stirring.

I just add water to a condiment bottle, add CGD and shake it up. I add more water if it's too thick, or more powder if it's too thin. Directions say 1:2 is only a starting point, and to add less water if it separates.

I don't think we've ever followed the 2:1 ratio since we started using it. We mix it in a bowl and add water until it becomes the consistency of ketchup or a bit thicker like BBQ sauce. I'm sure our ratio is more like 1.5:1, but I've never actually measured when mixing.

I start out 1:1 and mix it and then keep adding CGD/mixing until its about baby food consistency

I follow the instruction and stir it with a plastic spoon... I leave it out for the gecko to eat without problem. She/he is growing just fine. I think he/she likes the CGD the next day better when it's thicker. The only thing I don't follow is I tend to feed everyday instead of 3 times a week as instructed.
