Question Gargoyle Diet HELP

I have the Zoo Med CGD and my Garg seems to like it but I obviously want him to be as healthy as possible! I saw a few people say it's not that good but I just want to ask directly.

My Garg is about 4 months old and I feed him on Zoo Med CGD with a pureed Mango and Apple (pure fruit, nothing else added) and I also feed him small dusted crickets every couple of days to give him something to hunt and stimulate his mind.

Is this an OK diet or should I change it? Thanks

Most people I know feed the Repashy CGD. You can get it in plain or different flavors. Some people will mix it with babyfood. Seems different gargs have different preferances for flavors.

Link to where I got mine. You can get it in different amounts.

Thankyou! I have seen loads of people saying they use the Repashy diet or the Clarks diet so I might start using that!

Some gargoyles can be very picky on what flavors they like, that is one reason I like Rapashy's CGD, it comes in several flavors. They also make a fruit mix (papaya/banana) that is a little sweeter that helps to transition geckos from baby food over to the Rapashy CGD.

Rapashy CGD is probably the best and and Clark's CGD is a close second. The people I know that tried the Zoo Med had issues with their geckos not wanting to eat it, so probably best to offer Rapashy or Clark's if you have it available in your area.
