Mango & Papaya - Gecko Nutrition - Complete Gecko Diet
The combination of juicy mango and mild papaya unites the sweet intensity of mango with the subtle, slightly musky aroma of papaya. This exotic pairing offers your gecko a harmonious, tropical flavour explosion that will delight even the pickiest eaters.
In contrast to most Gecko Nutrition complete diets, which contain banana as the main fruit component, this variety deliberately omits it. The result is a unique taste experience specially developed for geckos with discerning tastes.
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 mango and papaya. 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 Mango & Papaya
Which geckos is it suitable for?
Gecko Nutrition Mango & Papaya is suitable for all frugivorous gecko species, including:
- Crested Geckos — the tropical fruit blend is excellent for fussy feeders or geckos that reject banana-based diets
- 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 14% real insects, suitable for all life stages.
What makes it different from other Gecko Nutrition flavours?
Most Gecko Nutrition diets use banana as the primary fruit. Mango & Papaya deliberately omits banana entirely, making it an ideal choice for geckos that show a preference for tropical fruit or who are bored of banana-forward flavours. With the highest insect content in the Gecko Nutrition range at 14%, it's also a great high-protein option.
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. 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 — Mango & Papaya 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
