ProRep Jelly Pots
Jelly pots are processed foods which do not provide crested geckos with any nutritional benefits, making them suitable only as treats. Regular consumption can cause diabetes, weight gain and malnutrition issues in your crested gecko; instead it’s better to feed whole fruits such as mangoes, blueberries, plums or pears to their crested gecko instead.
These high protein jelly pots are perfect for prolonging the lives of live foods such as crickets and insects, or as snacks for nectar-feeding reptiles such as crested geckos. Or use it as a treat for nectar and fruit eaters like crested geckos and day geckos as snacks or treats – just make sure that gut-load and dust before offering to your crestie(s). Alternatively offer your crestie a complete crested gecko diet (CGD), such as Black Panther Zoological CGD or another powder supplement that contains all essential vits/min’s balanced specifically for their specific crestie’s needs – or offer complete crested gecko diet (CGD), such as Black Panther Zoological CGD or another powder supplement containing balanced vitamins/min’s to get him/her through each feeding experience.

Exo Terra Jelly Pots
Crested geckos are omnivorous reptiles and therefore require a varied diet that includes whole foods, supplements, and insects. When feeding crested geckos jelly pots as these processed sweet treats contain too much sugar that could potentially cause diabetes and obesity in them.
As an alternative to jelly pots, try providing your crested gecko with overripe mangoes, blueberries or pears as nutritious foods to add variety and nutrition to its diet. They contain many vital vitamins and minerals for added variety in its diet.
As a hatchling, your crested gecko will require a small plastic faunarium of approximately 30cm x 20cm x 45cm in size (depending on its size). Once they reach 10 grams in weight, it’s wise to move them to this larger enclosure.
Komodo Jelly Pots
Jelly pots are an easy way to give crested geckos water and vitamins, though it should only be fed as part of a holistic diet. Feeding too many processed foods could result in diabetes, weight gain and malnutrition for your gecko; fruits, vegetables and supplements should be provided instead.
Ideal for insects such as beetles, cockroaches and millipedes as a treat; also makes an occasional treat for nectar- or fruit-eating reptiles.
Individual feeding containers make life easy in your pet’s habitat. Simply place it where insects can easily access it, and they’ll lap up its contents – providing essential hydration and nutrients needed for their wellbeing. Jelly pots provide variety in your reptile’s diet while preventing boredom with his current food source – they can be used to gut load crickets prior to feeding them to your crestie, or as moist food for locust (remember to remove unconsumed ones first!). It is best treated as treats given that these high sugar and dye content makes up most of their nutritional value when compared with an insect of similar size would provide equivalent nutrients in terms of nutritional value as an insect would.
