need advice-stopped eating

[Sarge USMC]

This gecko is not eating. She used to slam, and I mean S L A M anything I put in the tank. Now she's turning her nose up at the mealies and the crickets.

What kind of alternatives should I consider? I have a little dish with vitamin powder and calcuim powder mixed up together in there. Does the calcium need to have D3?

 

[grboxa]

You can try silkworms?, they work with picky eaters if thats the situation.

 

[Sarge USMC]

any other alternatives? Does calcium powder need to be D3 fortified?

What about earthworms......???

 

[marauderhex]

Negative on the earthworms. Silkworms, mealworms, superworms, smaller horned worms, dubia roaches, or wax worms. For Ca2+ powder, I recommend the Repashy stuff, and then leave some unfortified in a dish in the enclosure.

Sounds like your girl could be ovulating which can put them off food. If you could take a picture of her in a clear glass dish, take a photo of her belly we could help tell you if she's ovulating. How old is she?

ovulating......oh my.

take a photo of her belly thru a clear glass dish?? I can do that.

John, what is Repashy pls........sorry.....am I dusting with fortified powder and then leaving the unfortified stuff in the dish??

First off sorry if I steal, but just had a quick question which, hopefully helps you at the same time.

1-If a leo ovulates, but doesn't mate, does she go back to eating regularly or will I have to get her back on track?

2-How long does ovulation usually last (again without mating)? because this sounds like what my gecko is doing too

And again sorry for asking these questions in your thread, but I do hope they help you too,

PM me if your P.O'd
