Question
I have a african fat tail gecko is it okay to feed him baby food the ingredients are ground turkey,water and corn starch is this okay to feed him?

Answer
Hi Joey:
If he will eat it, I see nothing wrong with that as long as it is in very small portions and after it has been in his tank for one hour, remove it as it will spoil rather fast.
He will still need live food such as crickets to keep him healthy and alert.  He needs to hunt for food like in the wild.

Give him the baby food now and then with crickets and meal worms in between.

                              Good luck & take care
