Crested Gecko Drop their tails When they get scared. Nothing to worry about there. Just make sure Her "rear-end" heals up nicely.
Now the Little White Thing she pooped was actually urination. So No need to Worry there either, unless you don’t find any "brown" poop.

I must ask how long have you had this gecko?
To be honest I wouldn’t feed baby food. It’s high In sugar. I feed my Crested Geckos, Crested Gecko Diet mix (Also known as CGD). all you have to do is mix the CGD powder with water. you can find CGD at most pet stores or even order it online. If you use this you can still offer Crickets but it’s not necessary. CGD is a Meal replacement and provides every thing they need to eat.

if she pooed the white urate when you were holding her thats because she was possibly startled and so she "peed" on you to try and deter you..

the lost tail can be from many things weather it be stress, being scared, or sometimes just becasue..

cresties shouldnt be fed just regualr babyfood.. if you mix it with vitamins and calcium thats better but still not the best due to high sugars and preservatives in the food.. i would look into either the regular crested gecko diet distributed by T-Rex or look into repashys superfoods 2 part diet.. its a base powder and a nectar flavoring.. thats what i use and even the smallest bags are gonna last you a decently long time for just 1 crestie
