Hey Guys,
This is more a question of opinion/experiences, but last year I bought some geckos at a show, when I bred them this past season, I didn't get any good eggs from them. So I asked the person I bought them from how the animals were set up, and he told me that he relied "exclusively on dusting the feeders with Calcium/Vitamin powder". Generally I keep extra Calcium/Vitamin Power (Osteoform/Vionate) in a small dish (usually a bottle cap) for the geckos to lick up on their own. However these specific animals don't seem to be touching it, I usually change it out fairly regularly to keep it fresh, but after about a week and a half, these geckos are not eating it. The animals I raise usually empty the cap in about a week. Is that normal? Which do you guys prefer dusting or letting them eat it on their own? If you do the latter, how long does it take for them to eat it? Just want to make sure these animals are healthy before/if I breed them again.
Thanks
