Feeding Crested Geckos, Gargoyle Geckos and Day Geckos

Geckos are arboreal and terrestrial. The toes of arboreal geckos are equipped with lamellae which aid in climbing. Most gecko species that are frugivorous, meaning they eat fruit, will also lap up nectar which is found high in the tree tops of their natural environment. Captive bred geckos present a challenge when providing a complete and varied diet -- until today.

Elevating their food dish will stimulate their natural instinct to feed on fruit. The magnetic gecko feeding ledge is affixed to the side of the terrarium and easily moved. This ledge provides two 2oz cups to accommodate food and water on an elevated platform that provides security.

Geckos in their natural environment will only return to the ground to do two things; sleep and hunt. The Crested Gecko will find a secure hiding spot on the ground that is covered and provides security from predators when it sleeps. The gecko will emerge from their hiding spot during the night and hunt on the ground for insects and then climb to an elevation that provides security from predators. Allowing the gecko to eat while at an elevation in the terrarium will stimulate a greater feeding response and the reason why we recommend a gecko feeding ledge to provide Crested Gecko Diet or Day Gecko Diet to your geckos.

Crested Gecko Diet by Repashy Superfoods is formulated with the highest grade ingredients and nutritional portions to sustain your Day Gecko or Crested Gecko. CGD is the best-crested gecko food available! I know what you're thinking, it must be expensive right? Nope, when you account for the amount of food a Crested Gecko or Day Gecko will eat during a month (4oz) and the cost of a months supply it comes out to only $7.99 per gecko.

Combine the two and your gecko will thrive! CGD is the best food you can provide and the Arboreal Gecko Ledge is the most effective way to provide food to an arboreal gecko.
