I doubt the sikorae would eat an actual banana or a portion of one, but it is
certainly worth a try.
I have tried to feed U. henkeli the typical vitamin/mineral-banana food
mixture with no results. However, these were two males. Keep this in mind.
I used the same mixture and placed some in the U. ebenaui cage. This time
results were evident. The female now has calcium sacks.
I think that she ate the stuff because of the vitamin/mineral payload and not
the fruit and that is possibly why the male henkeli and the male ebenaui
ignored the stuff. They don't have to lay eggs.
I experienced a similar result with Paroedura picta and P. androyensis.
Prompted by some literature, I placed the above mixture in the cage. Only
females would lick it. I think this is due to the same reason. Prior to
this, I had a small dish of calcium supplementation and a little herptivite
in the cage for wasted females to replenish their supplies. For those who
don't know, P. picta come into the world with a simple mandate, breed and
then breed some more, and the extra supplement is crucial to prevent females
from leaching minerals from their own bodies. Long story short, they are
definaltely attracted to the supplementation.
It should be noted that I never used only raw baby food.
