Hand Feeding a Crested Ghecko

I recently took sticky in and gave him a new home. He wasn't looking so well so i've been hand feeding him a little with 4 months baby food and using a complete crested diet in his feeding bowl. He wasnt actually eating from it when i started hand feeding so i felt it was more important to get some food in him than letting him starve himself. I've also disenfected the whole encosure with a reptile safe disenfectant and changed substrate. I've also provided a very low wattage heat mat on the side corner of the enclosure to provide him with some additional warmth and have begun regulating the temperature to try and keep it around 24-26c - The results have been great after just a few days he is again sticking on the side of the enclosure, and more importantly is looking a lot more healthy and has started having the occasional lick of his specific crested food again.
