What Is Crested Gecko Diet (CGD)?

CGD is a powdered meal replacement diet designed specifically for crested geckos and other frugivorous New Caledonian species. Mixed with water to a smooth paste, it replicates the fruit, nectar, and protein your gecko would eat in the wild. All three brands below are nutritionally complete — meaning they can be fed as the sole food source, though most keepers supplement with occasional live insects.

Pangea Gecko Diet

Pangea is the most popular CGD brand in the UK and worldwide, and for good reason. It offers the widest flavour range, excellent palatability, and is trusted by breeders and hobbyists alike.

Top pick for fussy feeders: Pangea Fig & Insects or Papaya
Best starter flavour: Pangea Watermelon & Mango
Protein boost option: Pangea Banana & Papaya with Insects
Available in 57g, 227g, and 454g

Repashy Crested Gecko MRP

Repashy is one of the original CGD formulas and remains a firm favourite among experienced keepers. It has a slightly thicker consistency than Pangea and many geckos that refuse other brands will eat Repashy readily.

Top pick: Repashy Crested Gecko MRP (Original)
Good for variety: Repashy Grub N' Fruit or Mango Tango
Excellent choice for geckos that reject other brands
Available in 85g, 170g, and 340g

Our verdict

New keeper? Start with Pangea Watermelon & Mango — it’s palatable, easy to mix, and widely loved.

Fussy gecko? Try Repashy Original MRP — many geckos that reject other brands take to it immediately.

Want the premium option? Go with Gecko Nutrition — high-quality ingredients and a favourite among breeders.

Best strategy for all keepers: Rotate 2–3 brands and flavours. This prevents food boredom, ensures nutritional variety, and means you always have a backup if your gecko goes off one brand.
