Since my changeover in the lay boxes from sphagnum to vermiculite I have had my learning inspection goggles on.
Adequate time has passed for me to observe and learn that
female gecko's like to eat vermiculite. Checking of their stool assures me of that. Previous observations while bedded in sphagnum allowed me to gecko watch ( as I am a retired, hobbist type gecko owner with plenty of time) the consumption of the calcium/minerl mix in bowls that I provide for them.
Since the eating of vermiculite has occured, a certain decline of not only lowering the calcium bowl but eating
their regular food choices has happened. I do not feel at this point the vermiculite consumption has caused harm
(although at this time no company or veterinarian rep. has confirmed this) except in the reduction of the good health necessary items mentioned. I have switched back to sphagnum after two months of observation consistent in all
lay boxes containing vermiculite...............
Believe it .......or do your own observations. I feel it could
be detrimental to good calcium intake.
Gecko males CONAN, BRITEWHITE, SNOWDAY and of course I certainly want to keep our females "lookin good" ...........
take care. "GeckoGathering" .........(gathers humans)
