Hi,

in addition to insects my Naultinus grayii love banana, Manuka honey etc. I think this picture is the proof :

Hi Chris,
nice pic to prove!
And I agree Mario, you should have a carefull eye on the digestion after feeding banana and banana-babyfood too, they need a "good drink" afterwards. But they love it and it is a good possibility to give Calcium in addition, I usualy give it twice a month. BTW, peach-maracuja is a "good stuff" too,

Same restriction for banana-basis food.

As you know banana is a potassium-heavy food and without enough water can be dangerous for kidney's fonction.

I give once a week in addition to the insects a peach-apple mixed baby food (Nestlé stage 1) : 225 KJ- 12 mg vit C -0.4 g protids- 12.6 g glucids and only 0,1 g lipids and 0.01 g NaCl pro 100 g.

But my grayii are only 9 monthes old and the matabolism is not the same than grown-up geckos.

For the other addition I use Nekton MSA and ........ the sun !

Hi Nicolas,
as I see, we all agree, and the sun is a "good stuff" always,

Hi guys,

thanks for the comments. It's great to finally find somebody to share experience with these beautiful creatures. Lots of NZ gecko keepers are not so "talkative" which I can partly understand but nevertheless I think it's very important to share knowledge so everybody can optimize their captive care conditions.

Thanks!!!

Manuka honey is a great idea !

We use it against inflammation and it is an alternative therapy for the prostatitis !

His property against bacterial agents is well known.
