Complete Nutrition for Crested Geckos at Every Life Stage
Zoo Med's Crested Gecko Diet is a scientifically reformulated meal replacement powder developed by Zoo Med's own Master of Science (MS) Animal Nutritionist. Designed to meet the full dietary requirements of crested geckos across all life stages, this premium dry food delivers consistent, balanced nutrition in every serving - without the complexity of preparing fresh or live food.
The Tropical Fruit flavor features a blend of organic dried banana, organic dried mango, organic dried papaya, dried fig, and natural flavors that crested geckos find naturally appealing. Simply mix with water to create a ready-to-serve meal replacement that fits seamlessly into any reptile care schedule.
To support digestive health, this formula includes four different viable, naturally occurring microorganisms - Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Bifidobacterium bifidum, and Enterococcus faecium - promoting a balanced gut environment.
