Thank you both for your responses. I have been feeding my gecko around 14 insects a week for a month now as you suggested. I will definitely stop dusting the feeder insects with calcium until her armpit bubbles disappear. I take her out for handling every night, about 20 minutes on week days and...

Hello, There is an odd situation with my leopard gecko. She is about a year and a half old and I have had her since she was about a month old. Over the last 2 or 3 months she has gained quite a bit of weight and has bubbles under her armpits. I have tried various methods of getting her to lose...

Awesome, thanks! By the way she is finally eating her multivitamin again. It was just a stubborn phase that alot of sub adults go through.

Hi, I have a 12 month old leopard gecko. I just fed her 10 adult black soldier flies and she absolutely loved them. Are they safe to feed leopard geckos regularly or should the just be used as an occasional treat?

The waxworms actually died as they were gut loading so that won't work. I purchased a liquid multivitamin and put some on her nose and lips, but she shook it off, and licked a little bit and spit it out. I put the liquid multivitamin on all of the types of insects I feed her including the treat...

Ok, thanks for all your help. She normally eats any insects I give her and has a great appetite too. She just really dislikes the taste of multivitamins. Thanks again.

I tried giving her waxworms coated with the multivitamin and she refused those too. I mixed some honey with the vitamin supplement and put some wax worms in the dish with the mixture. I am thinking if she eats them after they consume the mixture she will get the multivitamin in her system that...

I have already tried multiple brands, but I'll try mixing it with baby food or squashed bugs. What flavors of baby food are safe for leopard geckos? Also I know geckos really like waxworms, but they can be addictive and cause geckos to refuse other insects. As a last resort, would it be safe to...

That didn't work unfortunately, she just wiped it off on the substrate and decorations. Should I be worried about long term health issues?

I'll try that, thanks

I have a 9 month old leopard gecko that absolutely refuses to take her multivitamin supplement. I have tried different brands on different insects and nothing works. Could this harm her health in the long run? If I put the supplement on the feeder insects food and have them eat it, or feed the...

Awesome, thanks! The humid hide I am using now is an exoterra gecko cave with sphagnum moss, But the gladware container with coco fiber sounds like a smart addition to my enclosure just in case. It's also a relief to know that it is unlikely that she will lay eggs with out actually mating.

I have a 9 month old female leopard gecko. In a few months she will be sexually mature. She is the only reptile I own and I am not planning on breeding her, but I know female leos can lay eggs without mating, and occasionally egg laying can cause serious problems like becoming egg bound...

Ok thanks. I will go with one of those options.

I have been feeding her as much as she will eat every day for a week. She usually eats about 17 or 18 dubia roaches a day. She is pooping the same as she always has, once every other day. at her age and size it's probably too soon to start feeding every other day. Is there another way besides...
