Crested geckos require food that is both delicious and nutritionally dense; at Pangea we have several MRP diets with this focus that consist primarily of fruits.
Diets typically require some shaking or stirring before administering them in the evening; any leftover portions must be discarded to prevent bacteria growth.

Ingredients
Your crested gecko will find everything it needs in this dry mix from North America! Made up of nutritious fruits like apples and grapes that your frugivorous gecko will devour – guaranteed success!
Pangea diets offer higher amounts of proteins and fats compared to other brands of pet food diets, and this formula includes three animal-based protein sources such as microfiltered, undenatured micellar casein, whole egg, and whey protein isolate.
Pangea products mix easily. Their food mixes up well; its thin consistency may make it harder to see lick marks in your tank, but many geckos seem to enjoy eating it. Some may even prefer its less “ketchupy” texture! As with other Pangea formulas, this dietary option doesn’t include banana.
Nutrition
Crested geckos need a diet with plenty of vitamins and minerals for proper development, with Pangea and Repashy among the most reputable names offering products with fruit flavors that crested geckos find enjoyable.
Pangea offers fruit-based crested gecko diet powders, such as Watermelons Mangoes Apricot Papayas Fig Mix. Their Fruit Mix contains over 50% real fruit without seeds nuts seed meal cereal grains or high oxalate fruits or vegetables – for an easy smoothie-style meal solution for crested gecko diets! It even comes in thick milkshake or smoothie form!
Many breeders use this as the foundation food for breeding females along with live dusted insects as part of a weekly feeding schedule. Not only is this great food for all stages, but its lower protein and fat content makes it especially helpful when breeding because less waste will be generated from its consumption.
Preparation
Crested geckos can be difficult to keep captive, but thanks to modern food options they have never been simpler to feed! Most commercial crested gecko food comes as powdered mixes that just need mixing with water while some varieties may require specific life stages or breeding purposes with additional components like live insects or extra calcium for maximum performance.
Many owners of crested geckos opt for the Pangea Gecko Diet Breeding Formula as it contains high levels of protein and fat to support egg production. For optimal egg production during breeding season it may also be beneficial to offer live dusted crickets every other day; though this step is entirely up to each owner.
Crested geckos may temporarily cease eating when reproduce, as their energy goes towards finding and mating with potential partners and producing eggs. While it’s natural for them to do this during reproduction, they should usually resume normal feeding habits shortly afterwards.
Storage
Pangea crested gecko diets contain more protein and offer superior aroma, flavor, and color which attract crested geckos more readily than Repashy options.
Though crested geckos are predominantly frugivores, they do require sources of protein such as the insects they encounter in nature. Therefore, small amounts should be fed weekly as part of a balanced diet.
Many crested geckos find pleasure in feeding on both Pangea Fruit Mix and Replashy meal replacement, providing their animals with the variety they crave.
Make sure any food fed to cresties is fresh and free from uneaten portions to maintain optimal health and sanitation. As captive reptiles are particularly susceptible to metabolic bone disease, provide additional calcium supplements like calcium carbonate or propionate which are readily available at most pet stores or online.
