What Should I Feed a Crested Gecko?

Crested geckos are omnivorous. In captivity, a complete formulated crested gecko diet is commonly used as the foundation of feeding, with suitable insects incorporated according to the feeding plan.

Can crested geckos eat insects?

Yes. Suitable feeder insects can be offered, and they should be properly gut-loaded and supplemented when appropriate.

Can a crested gecko eat only insects?

No. Crested geckos are not insect-only feeders like leopard geckos. Use an appropriate complete crested gecko diet or a feeding plan designed specifically for this species.

Do crested geckos need water?

Fresh water should remain available even when the enclosure is misted.
