Types of fruits

Hi there, im new to Cresties and I was wondering what some good fruits would be to feed them. I only have a baby, I feed him a cricket or two every second night, I keep his CGD in his cage and give him mashed banana about once a week, is this good?

Calcium Vs Phosphorus ratio in Crestie Common fruits:
Apricot: 1: 1.4

Banana: 1: 3.3

Fig: 2.5:1

Strawberry: 1:1.4

Raspberry: 1:1.2

Mango: 1:1

Papaya: 5:1

Peach: 1:2.4

Pear: 1:1

Prune: 1:2.5

Here's a chart of some common fruits, The ones with the higher numbers are meaning more calcium and Phosphorus

A good feeding regimen used by a few well known breeders looks something like:

Monday: Fresh CGD
Tuesday: Leave mondays bowl in tank
Wednesday: Gutloaded/ Dusted Crickets
Thursday:Fresh CGD
Friday: Leave Thursdays bowl in tank
Saturday: Fruit smoothie (mash your banana/ other fruits) wouldnt hurt to even add some of this to your CGD.

Bananas are very sweet, not so much addicting but they love the sweet, mixing the bananas with the diet will ensure they stick to their diet.
