Some gecko species, such as the Crested Gecko and the Leopard Gecko, can thrive on commercially prepared diets that do not require live insects. These diets often include fruit-based purees or specialized powders that provide necessary nutrients. However, while they can survive on these diets, it's essential to ensure they receive a balanced intake to support their health. Always consult with a veterinarian or reptile specialist for the best feeding practices.
