Yes, a crested gecko can be fed bananas but as a treat. Bananas contain a lot of natural sugars and can become very addicting to your gecko. Be sure that a fruit/smoothie mix is not a stable source of diet. Crested geckos should only be offered fruit and smoothies as a weekly/monthly treat. Smoothies should always be supplemented properly before being fed to the animals. MRP (meal replacement powder) is the readily available source of food for crested geckos.
NO! Crested geckos should have a fruit based diet. They should be fed Repashy Crested Gecko Diet, available online. Dusted crickets are OK as an occasional treat.
Some reptiles that can eat fruit as part of their diet include green iguanas, red-footed tortoises, and Russian tortoises. It's important to research the dietary needs of specific reptile species before introducing fruits to their diet to ensure it is safe and appropriate for them.
Crested geckos primarily eat a diet that consists of fruit, insects, and specialized commercial diets formulated for them. While they can occasionally nibble on vegetables like carrots, it's not a natural or necessary part of their diet. Carrots do not provide the essential nutrients that crested geckos need, so it's best to stick to their preferred food sources for optimal health.
what does a crested guan eat
Yes, they absolutely love it as well as any other soft, vitamin C free fruits. They also like crickets and sometimes locusts (which have 4 times the nutritional value of one cricket. Hope this helps :)
Leopard geckos are meat-eaters. NO FRUIT. Its best to feed your gecko insects like crickets : )
A small amount once every couple of weeks as a treat won't hurt them. They should be eating crested gecko MRP every day. (Repashy crested gecko diet, for example). Calcium-dusted insects can also be given occasionally. Fruit, other than as a rare treat, should not be offered, as it is too difficult to create a balanced diet feeding only fruit and insects to Rhacodactylus geckos. The commercial crested gecko diet formulas take the guesswork out of this, and provide a balanced diet to keep your gecko healthy.
Yes they can
Salmon-crested cockatoos eat seeds, nuts, fruit and coconuts.
Geckos are a large family of lizards that includes over 1,200 different species, with new species being discovered regularly. Geckos are found everywhere from the extreme Southern US, throughout South America and many islands. They are found in Africa, Indonesia, and Asia, and Australia...in short, on every continent other than Antarctica, and most of the warmer islands. Some live in desert regions, while other prefer rainforests, etc. While there are no herbivorous geckos, some species are omnivorous, and eat fruit in addition to insects and other small animals. What geckos should eat depends on the species of gecko! The vast majority of species are insectivorous, and do eat only insects. Among the commonly kept species that eat other things, the Rhacodactylus geckos of New Caledonia are the best known and most widely available in the pet trade--in particular, the Crested Gecko, which is largely frugivorous (eats a lot of fruit). Other popular geckos that eat other things are the Madagascan Day Geckos of genus Phelsuma, which are known to feed on insects and nectar. Rhacodactylus and Phelsuma geckos can both be maintained in captivity on a special powdered meal replacement formula which can be bought in pet stores, and is served mixed with water. The Repashy brand is the best known and must trusted of these. Repashy makes a crested gecko diet, and a day gecko diet. There are some other species of geckos that have proven able to live and breed, and remain healthy on a diet of Repashy MRP (meal replacement powder), including mourning geckos, and Lygodactylus geckos of some species. It is not recommended to give fruit to crested geckos any longer, as providing the correct balance of nutrition for them on a diet of fruit and insects is very challenging, and the MRP formulas have taken all of the guesswork out of it, and allow these animals to thrive.
sds, insects, and fruit.
