One of my leopard geckos escaped last night (quite literally pushed through a tiny foam piece that covers a small opening in her tank - which is smaller than her body so i don’t even know how she got out), and we found her this morning with her tail dropped and a tiny cut on her side. I have 3...
Yes! We've been trying to do that for the past week but she really resists and then hides after. I wasn't sure if it was better to put it on her mouth as the paste if she hated it/ was hiding/ wouldnt come out. Or if it was best to do the wax worms which she was enjoying. Should I try to...
Hey all!
short version: MBD gecko whose refusing all dusted food (crickets and mealworms) and HATES when we rub the dust on her mouth to make sure she gets some. Today we tried it with wax worms and she ate SIX worms (may continue to eat more!) that were dusted with Repashy. Do you all think...
Thank you so much for your reply! She used to eat a lot. There was a period of time where she wouldn’t come out / eat in the winter (i would freak out and get upset lol) . But then she went back to normal and ate alot. Ever since she really started showing the signs of MBD she has been eating...
i have a leopard gecko with MBD. She has one leg that she pretty much walks more on her forearm now, but all 3 other joints are still perfectly healthy. She is honestly really chunky with a huge tail, loves being held every night, and has a lot of energy.
lately i’ve realized she really isn’t...
I have a gecko were treating with mild MBD. he’s friendly but also a little shy. I’ve noticed for the past few weeks although he stays in his cave a lot at night, everyday when we turn the lights on he will lay directly in the light (sometimes covering his face but his body will always be in the...
Thank you! To help your gecko, did you just dust the crickets? Sometimes I feel like mine doesn’t eat all his crickets and when I look the next day at them alive and in the tank, they don’t have much dust left on them. That is why we switched to just putting a pan of calcium in there. However I...
Hello!
We recently realized a baby gecko we had gotten has very mild MBD. After realizing, we’ve been leaving a pan of “Reptivite reptile vitaminas with D3” in his enclosure because sometimes he doesn’t eat all his crickets (so we stopped dusting them). After watching it though, we aren’t sure...
Tonight I watched my gecko poop. Unfortunately, i realized he was never able to get the poop all the way out and was dragging it around (so sorry for the visual, just here to try to get the best care for my guy!). He even started to (at least what looked like) bite at his butt. I haven't ever...
Hello! In a few weeks me and my partner will be going on vacation for 3-4 days. We have 3 leopard geckos (all separate tanks) we bought this year itll be the first time leaving them! My concern is what to do about the lights we turn on/off everyday.
After some research, I read a lot about 'self...
Hey!
background: So i have a leopard gecko about ~10 months old. He has a history of strange poops. Ever since we got him (at about 4 months), he sometimes has pretty liquidy poops (like almost all liquid with a urate thrown in there). I was at first concerned, however I was told to watch his...
Hello! i’m currently the owner of 3 leopard geckos (all in seperate tanks as we learned when they were young they couldn’t be roommates)
Recently while going to petco to get crickets and mealworms, we were told that someone had surrendered 2 adult leopard geckos. They said they were available...
Hello! New gecko parents here of THREE!
We originally had 2, then saw an underweight albino gecko that no one wanted and then became a family of 3. I’ve also recently came with 2 questions in the general discussion!
Excited to be here and have a place to ask questions about our kiddos! Attached...
Hello!
I’m a happy gecko mom of 3 leopard geckos. As a mom, I overanalyze everything (including my geckos poop!)
We received our geckos in September when they were about 4-5 months old. They all act healthy: love to be held every night, shed normally, drink water, and eat regularly.
However...
