gecko with bad eyes

[Junk]

ok so I posted on here a while ago about my leo... had a horrible previous owner that neglected him and let his eyecaps compound for at least a year or more... and after taking very good care of him one eyecap is off completely and the only thing wrong with that eye now is a clump of scar tissue on the cornea... the other eye however still has the cap on it and we have been applying lube gel several times a day to try and get it off... but unfortunately as far as I can tell he is still blind :main_thumbsdown:

so I have a few questions... how often are they supposed to poop? and how fat are they supposed to be? if I could get a bunch of pictures of different full grown male geckos that would be awesome.

thanks in advance for your replies

It's great to hear you are having some success with the eye issues. Here is a thread I posted recently about an eye problem: http://geckoforums.net/showthread.php?t=64243

What is your feeding schedule? It depends how much and how often he eats as to how often he poops. There's lots of photos available, take a look at some classifieds or sponsors males they have for sale. Do you know what your boy's weight is? If his tail is skinny, it's obvious just by looking at it, but you can look at some pics to have a comparision.

I feed him every day through a syringe 1mL alternating carnicare (powdered carnivore supplement that I mix with water) and boysenberry yogurt (which he absolutely loves)

I've used some other things to dropper feed but there is a real good recipe for gecko soup that many have used with excellent results. It's what I'm using for my little raptor girl now and she poops every day. Also very cute to see her licking from a baby spoon Here's the link for the recipe: http://geckoforums.net/showthread.php?t=54742

I will have to try out that recipe... do you think I could substitute baby food with yogurt?

The recipe doesn't say it's okay to use yogurt as a substitute for baby food squash, so I mix as directed... any grocery store carries it.
