hey all, back with another question,
so my leo didn't have parasites it was an impaction as the vet suspected. the impaction was the upper half of a mealworm exo- skeleton. luckily it came out with a does laxitive the vet gave and some warm soaks I gave him. so basically I'm wondering how I can prevent that from happening again. my leo won't eat crickets (tried and tried, he won't touch them), and wax worms are almost entirely fat, so what do I feed him? I've heard of people using meal worms for the leo's entire life and the vet didn't have a problem with it, but I don't want my little guy to suffer another impaction; those are so painful and they can get life-threatening really fast if not treated properly. any suggestions are appreciated. I may end up calling the vet and getting his opinion as well but I'd like input from more than one experienced herp caregiver.
thanks much!
