Banana - Gecko Nutrition - Complete Gecko Diet
The irresistibly sweet taste of ripe bananas is a favourite among many gecko species and is particularly well accepted. Our Banana variety focuses on this popular fruit, deliberately excluding other fruits to offer your gecko a pure and intense flavour experience.
The Gecko Nutrition complete diet provides all the essential nutrients your pet needs for a balanced and healthy diet. It combines high-quality, protein-rich insects — black soldier fly larvae, mealworms, and crickets — with the natural sweetness of banana. Enhanced with valuable vitamins and minerals, this nutrient-rich formula ensures optimal support for your gecko's health. Made in Germany, specially formulated for crested geckos but also suitable for other fruit-eating gecko species.

Gecko Pantry's Guide to Gecko Nutrition Banana
Which geckos is it suitable for?
Gecko Nutrition Banana is suitable for all frugivorous gecko species, including:
- Crested Geckos — a pure banana flavour that most cresties find irresistible; great for fussy feeders or geckos new to MRP
- Gargoyle Geckos — readily accepted and nutritionally complete for this species
- Chahoua Geckos — a solid rotation diet for mossy prehensile-tailed geckos
- Leachianus Geckos — suitable for New Caledonian Giant Geckos as part of a varied diet
- Eurydactylodes Geckos — appropriate for frugivorous Eurydactylodes species
- Sarasin's Geckos — a good MRP option for Correlophus sarasinorum
It is a complete MRP (Meal Replacement Powder) with 11% real insects, suitable for all life stages.
What does it taste like?
Pure, sweet ripe banana — no other fruit flavours competing. This makes it one of the most consistently accepted flavours in the Gecko Nutrition range, particularly for geckos being introduced to MRP for the first time or those that reject more complex fruit blends.
How often should you feed it?
- Juveniles & breeding adults: daily or every other day
- Maintenance adults: 2–3 evenings per week
- Always remove uneaten food within 24 hours
How does Gecko Nutrition compare to Pangea and Repashy?
Gecko Nutrition is a European-made MRP (produced in Germany) that uses real whole-food ingredients including bee pollen, honey, and spirulina alongside its insect and fruit base. All flavours contain 11% insects as standard. It's an excellent brand to rotate with Pangea and Repashy to give your geckos maximum dietary variety.
Can you alternate it with other gecko diets?
Yes — Gecko Nutrition Banana rotates well with other Gecko Nutrition flavours and with Pangea and Repashy diets. Rotating brands and flavours across the week is recommended for the broadest nutritional variety.
What size should I buy?
- 50g — ideal for trying a new flavour or single-gecko households
- 250g — great for 2–4 geckos or regular feeders
- 500g — best value for breeders or multi-gecko setups
