Gargeer Picky Geck “Island Retreat” is a biologist-formulated, complete fruit and insect diet engineered for New Caledonian and other fruit-eating geckos (including Crested, Gargoyle, Leachianus, and Day Geckos). Powered by whole Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) meal and real tropical fruit powders (banana, papaya, and guava), it delivers a species-appropriate macronutrient profile without low-grade fillers or dairy.

Key Nutritional Highlights

  • 100% Standalone Nutrition: Combines real fruit carbohydrates with bioavailable insect protein, eliminating the need for live insect feeding or external calcium dusting.
  • Gut & Immune Defense: Fortified with dried kelp, bee pollen, and active probiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Enterococcus faecium) to support a balanced hindgut microbiome.
  • Zero-Filler Gastrointestinal Matrix: Free from soy, corn, wheat, rice bran, and milk proteins to protect delicate digestive tracts against inflammation.
  • Pigment & Shed Support: Enriched with natural marigold flower extract and beta-carotene to enhance subcutaneous color depth and support smooth shedding cycles.
  • Lab-Verified Quality: Independently tested by Midwest Laboratories and made in the USA from premium ingredients.
