All reptiles need a balanced diet specific to the type of animal they are. This includes proteins and fats found in most foods. However, just like you and I, our crested geckos (and other nectar eating geckos such as gargoyles and day geckos) need the right balance of vitamins and minerals in their diet as well. This is not easy to manage by ourselves. We can certainly dust their insects and other nectar like foods. But how much is needed, and how much is too much!
Years ago, Allen Repashy did all the work for us. He put together the first... and STILL ONLY complete diet for nectar feeding animals. Through years of successful use, we now have a diet that is simple to use, very inexpensive, and again most importantly COMPLETE. It contains the right balance of vitamins and minerals, including calcium to keep our animals healthy. This includes egg laying females that need extra calcium!
Some people try to use other foods- puried fruits or even babyfood and then mix in the right amounts of vitamins and minerals including calcium to get the right balance but this is so difficult!
The MRP contains the necessary ingredients to make this a complete diet. The MRP base was designed to be used with the Nectars. It may also be used in conjunction with fresh fruit, baby food, or fresh honey.
Mix the MRP Base with the MRP Nectar.. Add water to to desired viscosity (I mix to a consistency of a runny milkshake- or eggnog).
