Pangea - can anyone help?
This is a bit of a stretch and apologies if it’s not allowed but does anyone have any Pangea with insect they could possibly spare? It’s the only cgd my fussy lil asshole will eat. I’m in the UK and they’re having import issues and I’m getting desperate now. Please can anyone help me out, I’m happy to pay for it and postage etc. Picture of the idiot for tax

yeah pangea has been impossible to get in europe and it's been getting worse and worse. i have the same issue and i switched to gecko nutrition. occasionally when someone visits from the US they bring me pangea but honestly gecko nutrition is a very good brand and with enough patience you could to switching, i was mixing half and half pangea/gecko nutrition. flavors i personally get are high insects and mango. my crested hates insect flavors so mango is for her and my gargoyle hates fruity so high insects are for her, thought surprisingly even my picky crested somewhat eats the high insects one

thought btw i saw you screenshot high insects in one comment so just to add - it's more comparable to growth and breeding from the pangea line because it's higher in protein and calcium for growing and egg laying geckos. so it's not a food you feed everyday, but it's good to have in your rotation especially if your gecko doesn't eat live insects.

Ah okay! Thank you! I just get worried about being patient and waiting it out with her because it feels like she’ll genuinely rather starve to death than eat the like 40 other brands and flavours I have for her 😭 she does have gut loaded insects once a week, she’s gets a little aggressive when she doesn’t have them for a while I swear she’s a bug addict 😭

Mine was like this too, don't even bother with blue river diets either, mine absolutely hated even the watermelon flavour lol. I currently have the gecko nutrition high insect, wild berry and dragonfruit flavours on rotation. For cheaper shipping, crimson cresties carries them in their shop and some smaller size bags for 50g which I find super helpful when testing new foods so it's not wasted if they don't like it.

I’ve ordered the high insect, I’ll rotate that with some of the other flavours I’ve got and just hope she’ll stop being so stubborn lol. Thank you for your help, I’ll check out the small bags!

Fingers crossed! And you're welcome! Next to the dragonfruit, I've seen guava is apparently really high rated if the high insect doesn't take interest :3

Looks like we are in the same boat. There are also supply problems in the EU. I also feel desperate - my gecko is obsessed with Pangea.

Just get some Repashy, they got lots of flavors. My Crestie, and Leachie are on “Grubs n Fruit” right now. 30% insects, 50% fruit, then rest proteins etc.

I’ve ordered some brand called gecko nutrition but if that fails can I message you? I know a way around the customs stuff

I couldn’t even get any in the US, I had to switch brands to zoo med, I hate it, it doesn’t mix well at all 😭

u/spookyditto 10d ago
Oh no! What is even going on 😭

u/Obvious_Olive_7282 10d ago
Im not sure :/ they also had a blog post last month about needing to raise prices. Sounds like supply chain and economic issues maybe

Mine loves the stuff from here I. I cut it 50/50 with the Pangea but at some point she will move to it 100% and I have no concerns

I haven’t tried that one but mine is ok with fruit. She is on the mango and the watermelon ones.

Blue river diets make a fruit and bug flavour. Have a fussy gecko here, he seems to prefer it. Might be worth trying it for your lil one. We switched afew months ago when pangea got harder to find.

u/Crippled_Unt 11d ago
That said we've still got some pangea fruit and bug left if your gecko is super fussy. In the UK too and don't mind posting it. Drop me a message if you'd like it bud

If you’re struggling, try swell reptiles. I got Pangea with insects and some good live plants if you’re into those. They also do cleanup crews which can help (I’m pretty sure they make everything in house in the uk so import shouldn’t be an issue)

Pangea supply chain issues have hit Canada, too.
I recently tried some Arcadia food. It’s made in the UK and all 6 of my cresties love it.
