toothbrush?

[breanna-banana13]

So i fed Eliza last night and she ate 2 crix no problem. then when she ate the 3rd one its head was right at her teeth when she bit down. i dont know exactly what happened but it looked like its head was stuck on her teeth, partway sticking out. (her mouth was closed but her lips wouldnt touch in the one spot and i could see it sticking out) she was trying like hell to get it off with her tounge (i mean eyes closed, strectching her legs- really straining) it looked like it hurt so i took her out and tried to get it with tweezers (she knew i was trying to help- she kep wiping the spot on my leg)- most of it came off (her mouth closes properly now) but i can still see some stuff in there when she opens her mouth- it looks mushy- i know its cricket parts not part of her gums or anything but will it cause a problem?? i definately cannot get it with tweezers. will it just come out on its own?? anyone know where i can get a gecko toothbrush lol.

Yeah, I think I can help on that last part. Walmart has some CREST soft bristle baby brushes that are small enough,
and they are on sale right now.
Not sure if one of the cricket part magnets will draw that out or not.

********If you decide that was just humor......
***I would say IMO she will handle it OK.
If her Momma will let her.....don't suggest causing problems with
tweezers unexpectedly jamming delicate gecko parts, because she
gets startled..........take care. HJ

Have you tried q-tip? Just brush the area with a wet q-tip see if that'll help...

no, i havent tried that. the only thing is that its actually in her mouth- like stuck to her teeth so 1) i dont think she'll let me in there with a q-tip and
2) i'd be afraid of the fibers getting stuck in there too. ill give it a shot though
