Reference
Quick fact: Unlike most popular pet reptiles, a complete powdered Crested Gecko Diet (CGD) can be the entire diet with zero live insects required. Most keepers still offer insects occasionally for enrichment, but it isn't a nutritional necessity — one of the reasons this species is considered relatively low-maintenance to feed.
