What Do Gargoyle Geckos Eat?

Quick answer

Gargoyle geckos are omnivores. The staple is a fortified powdered meal-replacement diet mixed with water, offered several nights a week, with insects such as dubia roaches and crickets rotated in once or twice a week.

Staple

A quality MRP such as Repashy or Pangea Crested Gecko Diet already supplies calcium, D3, and vitamins in the right balance.

Rotation

Dubia roaches, crickets, black soldier fly larvae, and discoid roaches make good protein rotation. Size insects to the gecko's head width and dust lightly with D3-free calcium.

Avoid

Mealworms and superworms are a poor fit for this species, and wild-caught insects or fireflies should never be fed.
