My crested gecko is picky. Should I try Pangea food and calcium?

Hello. So I was wondering if I should try out another crested geckos food. They don’t seem to really ‘like it’ they only take two or three licks and then they are done. But I haven’t had any other food then Repashy. Should I try Pangea? If so why flavor would you recommend for picky cresties? Also is this the right type of calcium for cresteds? If not what type? How often do I use it? (Pic below) thanks!

Thanks for reaching out about Oakley. Both Repashy and Pangea are known brands in the industry but there are concerns on whether they are complete diets for a lifetime. It would be recommended to switch from one to the other, periodically. One might have more of one nutrient, where to other might be better supplemented in others. Both should be well fortified in calcium. It is possible to over-supplement with calcium so probably wouldn't add more than once weekly. Good luck.
