Fig & Insects
New Caledonia frugivorous geckos often rely on figs and insects for food, providing their pangea crested gecko diet with sweet scent and taste of figs as well as high levels of protein, Omega fatty acids and vitamin B12.
This gecko food features less than 1% oxalic acid content, making it a suitable option for geckos with sensitive digestive tracts. Incorporating this formula with other Pangea formulas provides your fruit eating geckos with a well-rounded, varied diet!
Pangea’s latest crested gecko food offering is an exciting banana-free formula featuring strong fig aroma and flavor that is designed to attract even your pickiest eaters! Crickets and black soldier fly larvae serve as sources of protein to increase Omega fatty acid content as well as providing additional nutrition through mealworms.
Growth & Breeding Formula
Pangea’s Growth & Breeding Formula was specifically created for egg laying female geckos, providing an optimal combination of proteins, fats and calcium.
Though this diet can serve as a meal replacement powder, for maximum effect it’s wise to supplement with live insects like crickets once or twice every week as part of their feeding regime and encourage them to actively hunt for food. This way, your crested gecko won’t become bored of its diet and might actually hunt down its meals instead of just sitting there eating all their daily nutrients from its meal replacement powder diet!
Insects provide geckos with calcium. To maximize this benefit, it’s important to first coat all insects you feed your gecko with calcium D3 before giving them as treats.
Watermelon
Watermelons are low-cal fruits that provide essential hydration and essential nutrition such as vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Furthermore, no fats or cholesterol exist within each serving – just a slight bit of sugar per portion.
Eating watermelon regularly and in moderation may help lower high blood pressure and may lower risk for cardiovascular disease, according to studies. Watermelons also contain antioxidants and phytosterols which have been proven to lower LDL cholesterol levels for some people.
Lycopene is another antioxidant found in watermelons that has been linked to lower blood pressure and better arterial health, acting as both an anti-inflammatory agent as well as an antioxidant.
Pangea Complete Crested Gecko Diet has been specifically tailored for New Caledonian geckos by using only high quality US dried fruits, Whey Protein Isolate and egg whites sourced directly from USA vendors. Pangea’s own collection of New Caledonian geckos have approved it!
Banana Papaya
Bananas are a nutritious fruit packed with essential minerals and vitamins such as magnesium (40 milligrams+), potassium, folate and trace amounts of B6, C E niacin. With low oxalic acid levels they are safe for many animals such as crested geckos.
Crested geckos typically feed on fruit nectars in the wild; for those keeping Crested geckos as pets, it’s safe to give them some fruit as treats once or twice monthly as a treat.
Bananas may not be ideal food options for geckos due to a calcium/phosphorus ratio of 1:4.4 which does not meet their requirements.
If you want to include bananas as part of the diet for your crested gecko, there are a variety of commercial alternatives that provide adequate balance and nutrition for their diet. Or you could combine bananas with other safe fruits for a tasty fruit-based meal replacement powder sure to please!
