will NEVER eat powdered food?

[Neill]

So I have one baby gecko who was doing real well, then wasn't doing well at all. Now again doing pretty well but WILL NOT eat anything with calcium powder on it. He will absolutely refuse. I even try all sorts give him on roach un-powdered, then one with. He just turns away. Even tried waiting a few days then first roach i put in cage with powder nothing.

have you tried the liquid stuff? there are drops for the water or spray on for the food, also have you just tried leaving a dish of mealies in there with the calcium and just let her go hungry a few days with it in there , if she is hungry enough she will eat, just make them avail 24/7.

I have used the Exo-terra liquid Calcium water conditioner with good results. I had a male who also refused powdered food too or was bad for not eating alot of food. So I used the liquid calcium to ensure that he got some form of calcium in his body.

After breeding my female last year she was taking forever to put weight back on and was dull. I purchased some of the Repashy Calcium Plus ICB and it felt like over night she put all her weight plus more back on and never refused a single feed when dusted with the Repashy powder.

The Repashy powder is also sold by T-Rex as Leopard Gecko Dust ICB. I find that it has a nice fruity smell to it, and not once has any of my leos or crested geckos once refused to eat a meal dusted with the Repashy powder, but they have with other calcium and multi-vitamin powders.
