Gargeer Picky Geck: Growth

At Rachel’s Reptile Resource, we believe our reptiles are family, and they deserve nutrition grounded in real biological science. Gargeer Picky Geck Growth is a high-protein, complete daily superfood engineered for juvenile geckos, breeding females, and adults needing an extra nutritional boost.

Formulated by a herpetologist with over 25 years of industry experience, this formula blends real sweet fruits—banana, mango, and date—with black soldier fly larvae and whole egg protein. It delivers the elevated amino acids and minerals necessary for rapid skeletal development and neuromuscular health, completely free of cheap fillers, soy, or dairy proteins.

Key Nutritional Benefits

• High-Density Growth Formula: Features a boosted 23.4% crude protein level powered by Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) and whole egg to fuel rapid juvenile growth, robust tissue repair, and easy shedding.
• Neuromuscular & Bone Support: Packed with bioavailable Calcium Carbonate, Vitamin D3, and an extra potassium and magnesium boost to optimize muscle contractions, nerve signaling, and bone density while preventing Metabolic Bone Disease (MBD).
• Gut Health & Digestive Integrity: Completely free of milk proteins, soy, rice bran, and grain fillers. Enhanced with beneficial probiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Enterococcus faecium) and fermentation extracts to maximize nutrient absorption and gut microflora balance.
• Naturally Irresistible Sweet Blend: Combines nutrient-dense mango, banana, date, bee pollen, and spirulina into a fragrant mash that encourages voluntary feeding in even the most stubborn or finicky eaters.

Preparation & Feeding Guidelines

1. Mixing: Mix 1 part powder to 2 parts water. Stir well.
2. Thicken: Allow the mix to sit for 5–10 minutes to reach a smooth, hydrating slurry that gecko tongues can easily lap from elevated feeding ledges.
3. Feeding: Serve fresh every evening in a clean feeding cup. Because it is highly concentrated, geckos receive full daily nutrition in smaller, nutrient-dense portions.
4. Clean-Up & Storage: Discard uneaten food after 24 hours. Prepared, mixed food can be kept refrigerated for up to 1 week.

Pro-Tip on Transitioning: If introducing your gecko to Gargeer from another brand, mix 20% Gargeer with 80% of their previous food. Increase the Gargeer ratio by 20% each meal or week until they are fully transitioned to their new favorite diet!
