Many people struggle with what kind of diet to feed their crested geckos. Generally, they try giving them fruit-based treats.
Unfortunately, many of these foods contain high fat and phosphorus levels which are detrimental to your gecko. It’s best to give them a protein-rich food instead.

Watermelon Complete Diet
Pangea’s Watermelon Complete Diet is designed with a combination of fruits that your frugivorous geckos will find irresistible. This high quality diet includes whey protein isolate, egg whites, bee pollen, algaes, probiotics, and more for maximum enjoyment.
Watermelon is an excellent source of lycopene, an antioxidant that can reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in the body. Furthermore, it supplies vitamin C essential for immune function and cell health.
It has a low calorie density and is packed with water, making it an ideal food choice for supporting healthy weight management.
This diet is specifically formulated to have minimal levels of anti-nutrients like oxalates and phytates. No seeds, nuts, seed meal, cereal grains or high oxalate fruits or vegetables are utilized in its composition.
Fig & Insects Complete Diet
Pangea Fig & Insects Complete Diet is a banana-free formula with an inviting fig smell and flavor to tantalize picky geckos. It also includes crickets and black soldier fly larvae as the primary protein source, along with organically raised mealworms to boost Omega fatty acid content.
Insects are an excellent way to give your reptile extra calcium, which helps prevent metabolic bone disease. Before offering them to your gecko, be sure to dust them with special reptile calcium powder for added benefit.
The Fig & Insects Complete diet blend is slightly thinner than other Pangea gecko formulas due to the absence of banana, so you may want to start offering small amounts at first to see if your gecko will eat it. Be sure to remove uneaten food at each feeding or sooner if it has dried out or become soiled.
Growth & Breeding Formula
Pangea’s Growth & Breeding Formula is designed to provide essential nutrients for breeding adults as well as geckos of all life stages. It’s especially suitable for crested geckos, chahouas and New Caledonian giant geckos; also other species such as chameleon geckos (Eurydactylodes spp.), gargoyle geckos (Rhacodactylus auriculatus) and leachianus can use this nutritious formula as well.
Meal replacement powder can be fed dry or mixed with water for your gecko to consume. After mixing, the mix should resemble a thick sauce that they’ll love eating!
Typically, the powder should be mixed with 2.5 parts water to 1 part powder to achieve the desired consistency. For optimal growth, give 3-4 times a week in addition to insect feeds.
Fruit Mix Gecko Treat
Pangea recently introduced their Banana and Papaya Complete Diet, providing your gecko with an exciting combination of insects and fruits for optimal feeding pleasure. This treats can be fed alone or combined with other Pangea diets like Growth & Breeding Formula, Watermelon/Fig and Insects Complete Diet for maximum enjoyment.
Crested geckos tend to be picky eaters and require a variety of foods in their diet for optimal health. While some crested gecko foods may not satisfy their cravings, the pangea fruit mix provides your gecko with essential calcium and other vital nutrients needed for strong bones and healthy egg production.
Soft fruits like apples, pears, berries and melons make ideal treats for your gecko as they contain low levels of phosphorus. However, be mindful when giving them as treats: only give them once or twice a month and ensure the calcium to phosphorus ratio is 2:1.
