Hey dudes,

I always gut load my feeders with calcium supplement, but i was wondering if there are any particular brands on the internet that are exceptionally good? or is it a case of them all being the same?:main_huh:

If there are some good ones could you leave a link to it please!

I also want my geckos to put on weight and today got some waxworms, any advice would be very welcome!

much thanks!

Waxworms aren't really recommended as a staple as they are very high in fat and very low in nutrients. They're great as snacks or dessert though, but only one or two at a time, k? I'd stick with the old-fashioned tried n' true mealies and crickets. (And super worms if your leo is big enough.) I've raised my Tiamat on these items and she's gained considerable weight since I first got her.

To answer your original question, I really like Rep-Cal...I know a lot of others do as well.

Awesome cheers peoples

Its not a case of getting away with it at all, I've got this name on other forums and nothing has been said until I signed up on here. It's not as though it is offensive at all anyway.
