I have read several guides, but I am still a bit confused. Everything else with leopard geckos makes perfect sense to me. Feeding? It seems complicated.
Gutloading:
Do I purchase a special powder to dump in with the mealworms/crickets prior to feeding to the geckos? OR
Do I take potatoes/oatmeal/carrots/exct and feed them to the meal worms/crickets? OR
Do I purchase the special power and dump it onto the potatoes and then feed it to the mealies/crickets?
:c I feel like a 'tard asking this, but I want to understand it before I get my animal(s).
(I realize there is a subforum for supplement, but I wanted to keep it to one thread)
Calcium Powder:
I want the kind without D3. I leave it in a small container in the tank near the food/water dish. Am I understanding this correctly?
I purchase D3 separately and put it on the food every second feeding....?
