Crested Gecko Diets
Crested geckos are omnivorous creatures that feed on insects and fruits in the wild. In trees they spend most of their time, hunting insects while foraging for fruits to snack on.
Crested geckos in captivity are easy to feed due to a range of commercial diets available. Some owners also include live insect matter for added variety in their crested gecko diets.
Repashy, Fluker’s Farms and Pangea are three popular brands of crested gecko food that include meal replacement powders (MRP) and granules/pellets that can be mixed with water to form pastes, or added directly to their food dish.
Assuring your crested gecko has a balanced diet is of primary importance; this should include commercial diets, fresh fruit and live insects such as dubia roaches. Doing this will reduce metabolic bone disease risk while keeping them in optimal health.
Leachianus Gecko Diets
Leachianus geckos, commonly referred to as New Caledonian giant geckos, have become one of the more popular species of reptile. Their size makes them standout!
Since they are omnivorous creatures in nature, crested geckos should be fed a diet which contains all necessary vitamins and nutrients in captivity. This should include high-quality crested gecko diet, fruit feeders and live insect feeders.
Additionally, we advise taking a calcium and vitamin D3 supplement like Repashy Supercal NoD for this purpose.
This diet consists of a dry powder that you mix with water to form an easy to store diet for your pet, readily available from most pet supply stores and completely mess-free!
If you decide to add a leachianus gecko to your terrarium, make sure it offers an ideal environment. Strong plants like ferns, Devil’s Ivy and heart-leaf Philodendron make great shelter for these reptiles; nesting boxes or cork bark may even serve as shelter.
