So none of the articles/videos pertaining to the care of gargoyle geckos (the species I'm interested in) mentioned about feeding the feeder insects, though some did say they give their insects fruit. Is a commercial food necessary, or will the fruits work?
I know it's vital to dust the insects with calcium dust before feeding. Is this sufficient, or should calcium also be provided in a different dish? I do also know that too much calcium isn't great, either.
No one mentioned vitamins, either. I intitially assumed vitamins and calcium would be provided for in the fruit diet, from Pangea or Repashy.
Are the vitamins supposed to be given to the insects before feeding, mixed in with the fruit diet, or kept in a separate dish?
This probably has already been discussed before, but I didn't see a thread pertaining to it. Perhaps I didn't go far back enough.
Don't worry, I'm not bringing one home until sometime next year, and I'm trying to do all the research possible.
Thanks in advance.
