Sweet Papaya

A delightfully tropical formula.

Sweet Papaya showcases the naturally sweet and fragrant flavour of papaya in a complete formula designed for frugivorous geckos. Combined with high-quality insect protein and carefully selected ingredients, this recipe helps support balanced nutrition and overall vitality.

Its smooth texture and excellent palatability make it a favourite among both juvenile and adult geckos. Inspired by the natural diet of New Caledonian geckos, it focuses on simple, high-quality ingredients with no dairy proteins, added sugars, lecithins, or artificial flavourings.

Geckos are creatures of habit, especially when it comes to their diet. When introducing a new formula, it is perfectly normal for a gecko to be hesitant during the first few feedings.

To encourage acceptance, we recommend a gradual transition by mixing the new preparation with your gecko’s usual food :

Every gecko adapts at its own pace. A gentle transition often leads to better acceptance and helps minimise the stress associated with dietary changes.
