Comparative Review of Ingredient Composition and Nutritional Characteristics of Commercial Complete Gecko Diets (CGD) for Crested Geckos (Correlophus ciliatus) Available in Korea

This study reviewed the ingredient composition and nutritional characteristics of six commercial complete gecko diets (CGD) for crested geckos (Correlophus ciliatus) available in Korea. Manufacturer-declared data were reviewed for ingredients, proximate composition, calcium and phosphorus contents, vitamin profiles, functional additives, and insect protein sources. All products contained fruit-based ingredients and vitamin-mineral premixes, whereas differences were observed in insect protein sources, functional additives, and Ca:P ratios. Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) were identified in four of the six products and represented the predominant insect protein source among the products evaluated in this study. These findings provide baseline data on the ingredient composition and nutritional characteristics of commercial CGD products available in Korea and may serve as a reference for future nutritional evaluation and diet development for crested geckos.
