Can't get to a vet until next Friday

tim5580 Nov 12, 2004 10:23 AM

Man, the vet has no openings until next Friday. And the exotic one is only there on Fridays. But she is a good vet.
I got my leo to eat some baby food last night with vitamins in it. I tried to go buy Turkey, but could only find Turkey Dinner with rice. It tastes like turkey only, even though it has carrots and stuff in it. Think that still is OK? Maybe I'll be lucky and it will start eating insects again.

just go to another store, I think even places like CVS and 7-11 sell baby foods, and turkey is a generic flavor so you should be able to find it

Do you think I should smash up some mealworms or crickets and put them in there? I put leo gecko dust in with baby food, and mixed it all with love.

Aw, alittle touch of love will do the trick

In my own opinion i'd just use the baby food and the mealworm guts. It's of my opinion that if you use a whole mealworm and then grind it, some of that skin is going to get ground in and well the skin on the mealie isn't going to do much, might make him/her constipated. So if you want to grind whole mealies I'd use the white one (the ones that have just shed), or use the guts and then add a touch of vitamins and some lov'en.

keep me updated

they have a lot more um, juice, in them, and most leos like them better than mealies. not good nutrition, but just calories until the vet can see him. baby food really is better nutriously

Yeah I was just trying to make it taste better so maybe he would eat more of it. I am out of waxworms, and silkworms, all I have right now are mealworms. I might go get some crickets Monday. I found another exotic vet when I was at work today. It is only like an hour from my house so it is worth a drive if they can get me in Monday. I just don't know how good they are.
