MADE WITH A HIGH REAL FRUIT BASE & INSECT PROTEIN

A blend of real fruit powders provides natural sugars, flavour and fibre, while Black Soldier Fly larvae add a calcium-rich, species-appropriate insect protein source. This pairing delivers both energy and biologically relevant amino acids.

BEE POLLEN & HONEY FOR NATURAL APPEAL

Bee pollen contributes antioxidants, amino acids and trace minerals. Honey powder adds aroma and natural sweetness to help encourage feeding, even in geckos transitioning from insect-heavy diets.

BALANCED FRUIT-INSECT-PLANT PROTEIN RATIO

Formulated to mirror the natural dietary variety of wild geckos, combining energy-rich fruits, Black Soldier Fly Larvae for highly bioavailable insect protein, and soy protein isolate to complete the amino acid profile. This triple-source approach delivers a balanced, species-appropriate blend of carbohydrates, proteins, and essential nutrients supporting growth, muscle development, and long-term condition in a single, complete feeding solution.

POST BIOTIC SUPPORT FOR DIVERSE DIET DIGESTION

Lactobacillus helveticus helps maintain gut balance when digesting mixed protein and fruit sources, improving consistency and nutrient absorption.

FULLY FORTIFIED FOR COMPLETE NUTRITION

Includes a complete vitamin and mineral complex for correct bone development, immune function and long-term metabolic health.

WHY ITS IDEAL FOR CRESTED GECKOS

Fruit & Bug blends a high fruit base with Black Soldier Fly larvae protein to offer a balanced fruit-and-insect diet that mirrors the variety found in wild diets. Banana and mango provide digestible carbohydrates, fibre and beta-carotene to support colour, energy and metabolism. Coconut contributes healthy fats and fibre for digestive balance. The insect protein supplies highly bioavailable amino acids and minerals to support lean muscle growth, reproduction and overall health. Bee pollen and honey enhance palatability while adding micronutrients and antioxidants. Probiotics support digestion of this mixed diet, ensuring nutrient absorption and feeding consistency. This combination delivers optimal nutrition for active, growing and breeding crested geckos.
