Fig & Insects
Pangea Fig With Insects Complete Gecko Diet is an excellent food option for crested gecko breeding females as it contains additional fat and calcium for egg production. With its delicious fig flavor, this formula makes this ideal for picky geckos who dislike banana-flavored food; and its increased insect content means geckos are receiving additional protein intake – including crickets and black soldier fly larvae as primary protein sources, along with mealworms to boost Omega fatty acid intake.
This MRP is specially formulated without high-oxalate fruits and vegetables and free from seeds, nuts, wheat cereal grains seed meals or anything that might lead to intestinal blockage. Although its consistency differs from other formulas in that lick marks may be more difficult to see it’s still very palatable for most geckos – you can feed this MRP alone or mix it with live dusted gutloaded insects – open bags can last six months at room temperature or one year when stored in the fridge.
Breeding Formula
Addition of insects to a crested gecko diet can be highly beneficial and is often more desirable to their reptile than feeding it solely fruit. Many owners feed a mix of Pangea gecko food and live crickets or feeder insects as part of the daily meal for best results.
This mix is an ideal option for breeding crested geckos and contains plenty of protein for their rapid development. As it contains slightly more fat than some of the other options, some geckos may not need to clean out their bowl as often.
Similar to Fig & Insects, this food provides a highly-palatable mix of whey, egg and powdered fruits formulated for crested geckos at all life stages – however it may be particularly helpful in encouraging rapid breeding growth rates during breeding sessions. Although ideal for crested breeding programs, adult geckos can still benefit from occasional fresh, gut-loaded cricket feedings for optimal development.
Maintenance Formula
Crested geckos can eat maintenance formula without additional live insects; however, many owners have observed their lizards gain weight faster if they consume the food along with crickets or other insects.
Since it was first introduced in 2013, Watermelon Mango Formula has become the go-to diet for crested gecko species that enjoy eating fruit such as water spitting geckos (Rhacodactylus auriculatus), New Caledonian giant geckos (Rhacodactylus leachianus), gargoyle geckos (Rhacodactylus gaelor) mossy prehensile-tailed geckos (Mniarogekko chahoua), gargoyle geckos (Rhacodactylus gaelor), gargoyle geckos (Rhacodactylus gaelor), gargoyle geckos (Rhacodactylus gaelor), gargoyle geckos (Rhacodactylus gaelor), gargoyle geckos) (Rhacodactylus gaelor), gargoyle geckos), gargoyle geckos, gargoyle geckos (Rhacodactylus gaelor), mossy prehensile-tailed geckos (Mniarogekko chahoua) as well as fruit-eating reptile species among others fruit-eating reptile species.
Geckos with particular tastes or scent preferences will likely find this snack irresistible! With no banana-related flavorings present, this food also makes an ideal option.
