A girl i know just gave me a gecko with mbd ( she didnt know anything about leopard geckos let alone what was wrong with hers ) and she wants me to make her healthy. I tried feeding small mealworms with no success, and small crickets which she seemed to chase but she couldnt cath them due to her front limb deformaties. Im going to try wax worms tonight and silkworms ass soon as my order arrives.

Im wondering if i should buy calcium glubionate?

should i force feed? and if i should can someone give me tips on the prober way to?

what can i do to help this little guy?

PLEASE HELP!!

You can give an adult a drop or so a day of neo cal glucon. dont force feed. Offer food with calcium and put the gecko in a basic setup. Put a humid hide on the side with the heat pad and a small water bowl and calcium bowl on the cold side. paper towels as a bedding. Let us know what happens next

how do i give the drops? are they eye drops or do i administer them orally?

Orally. you can use a pipette. Are you by chance a so-cal resident?

alright cool. i can only buy the calcium glubionate online right? and ya i live in the san fernando valley haha. the 818 gave it away huh?

You can drive to montclair or covina and pick up a vile of neo cal glucon w/ a pipette for $5. It will be more than you can ever use and you can get it today. I didnt see you were 818 its just that so cal seems to have a lot of lizards and a lot of problems!

oh ya i guess its cause there are lots of irresponsimle kids and parents who get lizards cause they look cool or whatever. where in montclair?

can you email me your phone #?
