Crested geckos are natural fruit-eaters in the wild, and a small piece of ripe mango or papaya can be offered as an occasional treat alongside — never instead of — a complete CGD diet, which already contains balanced fruit and nutrients. Remove uneaten fruit within a few hours; it moulds and attracts pests fast in a humid enclosure.
