So I told my mom today to go get me some Crested gecko diet, and she came home with Day gecko food from ZooMed's. It says on it "for all fruit-eating geckos", but ive heard no mention of it before and figured id see if anyone else know anything about it or had an opinion on it. Day Gecko Food A vitamin-enriched diet for all fruit eating Geckos. Sweet, just like fruit. A natural substitute for times when sweet, ripe fruit is just not available or inconvenient. (Like those nights when you work really late!) Day Gecko food is fed dry, easy for those uneasy reptile-sitters. No more chopping up fruit every day. Just replace every other day, as needed. Sprinkle on chopped up "fruit salad" for rounding out the day gecko diet. Zoo Med enriches the Day Gecko Food with vitamins.

RE: ZooMed It may be okay used with insects for a short period of time, but it looks to me like its got some fillers and sugar in it....not so good. If your able to go out and buy some fresh CGD soon just get rid of that stuff. I've never heard of it being used, so I would personally not use it.
