Mossy Gecko - Rhacodactylus chahoua

rgctom Aug 02, 2008 08:33 PM

Hi all,

I want to keep a rare and expensive gecko as a pet such as the the Mossy Gecko, Rhacodactylus chahoua. But I don't like to keep and feed insects as a food source for the gecko. Is it true that the Mossy Gecko, Rhacodactylus chahoua can be fed solely on commercial made food such as the T-Rex Crested Gecko, Gargoyle Gecko, Giant Gecko MRP superfood diets, and REPASHY SUPERFOODS?

Are there any other geckos beside the Mossy Gecko, Rhacodactylus chahoua that can also be fed solely on commercial made food?

Yes, they can be fed solely on the Repashy/T-Rex diets. That being said, many people find that they grow faster if you include crickets in their diet at least some of the time. My experience with my crested was that when she was young, she was primarily interested in crickets, only converting over to crested gecko diet later on, and she grew like a weed.

My understanding is that this is true of essentially the entire genus rhacodactylus - that includes crested geckos, mossy geckos, gargoyle geckos and leachianus, and probably a few more I'm forgetting.

Indeed.

Although the food ordered from suppliers in the bags is much fresher than the Crested Gecko diet in the bottle at the store. It's also been said that day geckos (Phelsuma) can also be kept exclusively on these diets. If you have any other questions Allen Repashy himself has a forum, where 99% of the users use the product if you are in doubt, you can ask questions there. Allen even visits to answer questions sometimes.
