🎾Toys & enrichment for the Crested gecko

Crested gecko : A dense layout does all the work: vines, bamboo, live or artificial plants and elevated hides. It readily leaps from branch to branch after dusk.

Boredom is the leading cause of behaviour problems in any reptile. Toys, occupation and environmental enrichment are not luxuries: they are needs. Our guides compare durability, safety and real-world interest — the kind your animal will still care about in a month.

Hides at both the warm and cool ends, branches, a structured background: enrichment reduces stress and shows in the appetite.
