When offering fruit as an infrequent standalone treat, what rotational strategy promotes better overall dietary health?

Answer

Rotating through three or four acceptable options and intentionally taking breaks from fresh fruit

To manage the sugar load and ensure the gecko receives a broader spectrum of minor phytonutrients present across various produce, a systematic rotational schedule is recommended rather than repeatedly offering the gecko's preferred sweet item. This involves cycling through several acceptable fruits—perhaps melon one week, papaya the next—and crucially, incorporating periods where fresh fruit is withheld altogether. This methodical variation prevents excessive intake of any single sugar type and supports better overall dietary health compared to relying solely on scent appeal.
