Want to bring a little variety to your reptile's bowl? Zoo Med Fruit Mix-Ins in Papaya are fresh canned fruits in sauce, made to be stirred in alongside your pet's fresh pelleted diet. This 3.4 oz size is an easy way to round out mealtime for the fruit-loving species in your care, from your crested gecko to your box turtle. Think of it as the topper that makes a familiar pellet feel a bit more exciting.
Why fruit mamas and reptile keepers reach for the Papaya Mix-Ins:
- Fresh canned papaya in sauce, designed specifically as a mix-in with fresh pelleted diets, so it complements the food your pet already eats.
- A great fit for tropical lizards, box turtles, forest type species of tortoises, hermit crabs, iguanas, crested geckos, and day geckos.
- The 3.4 oz can is a manageable portion for adding measured amounts to the bowl rather than overloading the menu.
- Helps you offer dietary variety without building a whole new feeding routine from scratch.
- Easy to mash for hatchlings and small species, so even your tiniest reptiles can share in the treat.
- Feeding guidance is built in: feed hatchling animals daily and adult animals 3 to 4 times per week.
- Keeps you mindful of balance, since fruit should make up no more than 20% of the total diet, and only 10% for forest tortoises.
- Saucy texture mixes readily through pellets, making it simple to coat the food your pet recognizes.
- A convenient pantry option for keepers who want fresh fruit flavor without prepping and portioning produce themselves.
A few practical notes to get the most from each can. Use the Papaya Mix-Ins as a supplement, not a meal on their own, and keep that fruit-to-diet ratio in mind for the long-term health of your animal. After opening, promptly refrigerate the contents so the remaining fruit stays fresh for the next serving. Whether you are caring for a curious iguana, a steady box turtle, or a pint-sized crested gecko, this Papaya variety gives you a simple, ready-to-use way to add a touch of tropical fruit to a diet they already know and trust.
