Pangea Gecko Diet Growth & Reproduction

High protein and fat content from insect sources
High fat content to promote excellent breeding results
Maximum calcium levels
Great feeding response
Good for putting on weight
Excellent for breeders and geckos of all life stages
Pangea Gecko Diet: Growth & Breeding Formula™ was designed to be a package of healthy ingredients that provide essential nutrients to breeding adults, but is also great for geckos of all life stages. Crested geckos still benefit from one or two cricket meals a week. Other species, such as New Caledonian Giant Gecko (Rhacodactylus leachianus), Gargoyle Geckos (R. auriculatus) and Chameleon Geckos (Eurydactylodes spp.), also excel on this formula right out of the gate. In addition, Growth & Breeding Formula™ has been revolutionary for species that need higher levels of calcium and insects such as the Mossy-tailed Gecko (Mniarogekko chahoua).

The main source of fat and protein in our Growth & Breeding Formula is crickets and black soldier fly larvae. The fruits used are a delicious blend of bananas and apricots that creates an excellent feeding response like our other formulas. The higher fat levels help to keep egg production strong throughout the breeding season.

The calcium level is near the maximum level for a complete gecko diet. It is safe and sometimes necessary to add a little extra calcium to the food if your females become calcium depleted. Alternatively, you can offer plain calcium in a dish for your females to lick as needed.

To get the most out of this diet, fresh food should be offered at least every other day during the breeding season, even if there will be some waste. Smaller, more frequent feedings are healthier for breeders than large, sparse feedings, on which they tend to gorge themselves. Dusty live insects are optional, but can be offered once or twice a week in place of Pangea Gecko Diet: Growth & Breeding Formula™ for variety and to help keep your geckos active and stimulated.

Mix 1 part powder to 2.5 parts water and adjust to achieve desired consistency. Prepared mixture is good for up to 7 days if refrigerated. Opened dry mix is good for 6 months at room temperature or 1 year if refrigerated. Unopened diet is best before 12 months (see expiration date). Occasional insect feedings are recommended, but are optional.

LIFE STAGES:
Growth: Feed 3-4 times a week, alternating with insects
Breeding: Feed at least 4-5 days a week with additional insects
NOTES:
This mix tends to stick to tails and toes if your gecko walks through the mix. This can be easily resolved with a rinse or sauna.
Most geckos will not clean their bowl every time they may with lower fat formulas.
This diet has a shorter expiration date to ensure maximum protein and vitamin levels.
