Supers for a Dropped Tail Gecko

[InsanePirateDragon]

Well about a month or so both my leos had a close encounter with my kitten and ended up both dropping their tails.

Now while Fry's been doing rather well (the little piggy) and eating whatever's in front of him.

But my older than dirt girl Commanda took a week to get her to eat again, but recently she's decided that she was going to boycott everything under the blue moon except for mealworms which she eats about 6-10 every other day with a couple in between days.

Right now weight wise she's holding at about 42 grams but hasn't gained anymore or loosing too much, but her stump isn't as fat as Fry's but she lost all her tail pretty much to the vent.

So I was wondering if maybe I could try adding some supers to her diet at least until she builds up her new tail grows.

I've never dealt much with supers and know a lot use them as treats, not as part of a regular diet

Supers are fine as a staple diet, they are almost identical to mealworms in their nutritional profile, just bigger and meatier.

I agree with Tony. They also secrete a fluid as a defense, which prevents some of my geckos from eating them though.
