I see some of you own grandis day geckos and I have some questions about their diet. About what percentage of their diet is made up of fruit? Do you mostly use baby food or fresh? What types of fruit do they seem to prefer? Do you use a vitamin supplement? Thanks for any info.

It's not super critical, offer it when you want, weekly is fine.. They love banana based baby food, but fresh mango and Papya are also taken and are full of vitamins, and good for them. Mash it up a bit first with a fork and serve it with the juice in a little bowl.
They don't need much supplementation, but extra calcium can easily be added, and is beneficial for egg producing females.

I feed them 4 times a week. Crickets twice a week, mix mealies and crickets on one day and mix baby food and honey on the other day. Calcium w/ Vit D3 is given occasionally and Zoo Med's Day Gecko Food is given to the breeding female in every meal.
