I'm sure you would agree though that the CGD is better, and less stressful, than forcing headless crickets down the geckos throat?

I think I'd have to disagree with it not being able to bring back geckos though, I've also had a leg twitching, calcium deficient, and too small to be bred (she was in someone else's care just before) come back on just the CGD. She's still laying eggs right now, and hasn't had a shake or tail kink since, and she is fed solely CGD, has crickets once for a treat.

If you feel the need for more calcium in the diet, there are mixtures available with extra amounts of calcium added, they are only available online though through Repashy Superfoods suppliers, and this gecko would probably expire if fed only crickets up until the time the special super-calcium CGD arrived.
