My Leo Needs Calcium?

Question

it just started happening a few days ago but i notice where my gecko pooped it got the paper towel on the bottom really wet and usually it just dry and im thinking that he might not be getting enough calcium i feed him on a all cricket diet and i havent put the calcium powder on a cricket for about 4 months and i just started again last night so i wanted to know what the problem was if you guys know

Answer 1

are you giving him calcium with D3 or just calcium?

you should be dusting the crickets with calcium with D3 at once or twice a week. NOT anymore than that, as they can overdose on D3. the cricket diet for gutloading crickets won't really contain the D3, so you do need to suppliment somehow.

geckos need vit D3 to be able to digest and use calcium in their bodies.

they can get this supplimented in their food or through UBV lights.

(sorry but to the terminator, lashing out at someone in need is never an answer. and having the bad with the good, thus is life. you will always have stupid people, and you will always have appreciative people. you can't let the bad wash out the good, otherwise you will never be happy in life.)

good luck with your leo! i hope that helped a bit..

Answer 2

I reccomend feeding the feeder crickets flukers orange cube diet with a side of bread. I've never had to dust the crickets.

Answer 3

firstly why did you stop giving calcium? and why isnt there some in its tank so it can l**k up what it needs? sometimes my gecko gets a lot of watery stuff when she poops too its like doing a wee. so long as the p**p is normal then its nothing to worry about but you really should put calcium in its tank especially if you arent dusting its food or you will end up ith metabolic bone disease and that is horrible
