got 4 new leos today.....

[rawson5084]

Okay so I went to the pet store today.... and I found three very beautiful girls there so I just had to get them..... Anyways here they are......

Female 1 (35.9 grams)......

Female 2 (22.9 grams).....

Female 3 (32.3 grams)......

Okay so when I was there some kids come in and said that they had a leopard gecko that they didn't want anymore and was just going to give it to the store but when I seen it I felt so sorry for it that I asked if I could have it and they said yes. When I got home I put him in his new tank. He was so cold and basically plastered himself to the floor where the UTH is and stayed there for like 2 hours before he finally relaxed and started to move around to investigate his new home. But I did get him to eat 2 crickets.... I know that isn't much but it made me happy that he ate something... But anyways here he is.... (26.1 grams).....

Also I'm still not good at the whole morph thing so please feel free to help me out lol :main_thumbsup:

Very nice geckos. I hope the male gets back up to weight soon i wish you great luck with him.

#1 Hypo Tang Carrot tail/Super Hypo Tang Carrot tail
#2 Normal/high yellow
#3 Super Hypo Tangerine
#4 Normal/snow but being underweight its hard to tell because they lose color when they drop weight

Awww, the male doesn't look so good, but with some extra care and attention, he will hopefully bounce back to a nice, healthy weight :heart: I recommend feeding him some slurry WITH the optional pills mixed in, along with trying to feed him regular live food, daily. The pills in the slurry will help his digestive track, among other things.. looks like he needs it. Best of luck with him!!!!

PS - the females are all beautiful

 

[sunshinegeckofarm]

Yes the slurry for him and whatever live food you can get him to eat and the livefood be very well gutloaded. Also with the slurry i suggest straining it somehow if your blender doesn't get it completely smooth which ours didnt but once you strain it its like a really nasty smoothie lol. Much luck with him he looks at least active which is a plus i think he will turn around.

 

[fallen_angel]

LOL yeah, REALLY NASTY SMOOTHIE is pretty right on.. don't get too close with your nose, it STINKS really bad LOL

 

[sunshinegeckofarm]

mine smelled like ensure until tonight lol i have to make new slurry tomorrow.

If the gecko is taking live prey items i would shy away from the slurry. i would feed a higher fat content feeder and let the weight come on naturally. From everything that Marcia has said the slurry is for geckos that will NOT eat or to help ill animals that are on medication for their illness.

Also by higher fat content feeder i would go with something around the super worm to meal worm area. Crickets and Roaches are great feeders but have a higher protein to fat ratio.

As always dust with vitamins and cal w/ and w/o D3.

they are all gorgeous the male will fatten up and if he is eating live food already that's awesome just keep trying and he will fatten up in no time Jennifer and Jason He takes the cake tho i love the pattern on him..Snow? Super Snow? Guess we will find out when he gains a lil more weight

 

[rawson5084]

Thank you everyone.... usually I have meal worms but I didn't realize how low I got on them till they was almost gone so I'm waiting on them to get here (which should be today) so I got Crickets for them to eat right now.... Vitamins and Calcium with D3 is one of the first things I put in the cages with them.... All the females started licking it up like there was no tomorrow.... One of the females sat there for every bit of an hour going back and forth from the two..... He ate a little bit of his... So that also made me happy....

Wowwies! ... Sorry for that last boy.. he is beautiful though.. really pretty.

 

[e_cupcake26]

very pretty geckos. Too bad about the last little boy, but if he's eating and alert he should be okay. He's very pretty:main_thumbsup:

 

[Leopardgeckosunlimited]

I also think if he's eating then just keep feeding him the food GUTLOADED and good vit./min. calcuim powder is the key- Shake n bake them all!!!! And put a little lid w/ the vit/min/ calcuim powder in the tank w/ him. Gald that's he's eaten that u took him and they got there when you did. Sounds like he just needed some heat and food!

I love the yellow color on the second one.
