Grubco Super Sampler

Hopefully this will get my little guy/gal to eat. Their super sampler has 100 fly larvae, 100 medium mealworms, 50 waxworms, 50 mighty mealys, and 25 superworms for $10. I know some of you get loads of food for this price. However I only have the 1 gecko and I know that to buy each of these foods individually from the petstore would run more than $10, so to see what of these foods my guy would eat is worth it. As soon as a local petstore receives their supplies of butterworms I am also going to try those, anything to get this guy to eat.

I talked with the vet today and he says as long as he is eating that right now that's all he's worried about. He wants me to continue the antibiotics for a month then take him back to the vet. I was concerned about him getting addicted to the waxworms but right now the vet says that getting him eating and strong is more important right now. Hopefully though he will start eating some of these other foods I have coming and that won't be a problem.

Keep your fingers crossed that this little gecko will start eating a variety of food and put some weight on. He's a stubborn little thing.

It's a local petstore. They don't get them in that often so I need to keep checking to see when they are in. But from what I've read they are high in calcium so if my gecko will eat them why not.
