    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

So ever since the winter when my leopards stopped eating for a while - they've been picky and not wanting to eat the mealworms when they have any type of powder on them - picky little buggers - so my stupid self has stopped dusting them :NoNo:

The do like to lick out of the pure calcium dish though, so I was wondering. . .

Would it be ok if I mixed some (small amount) vitamin powder with the calcium and offered it every other day (not on the worms), and do the same with the D3 - but only 1X a week - the plain calcium would be offered on the other days.

Would that be alright? - I dont want my little guy(and girls) to get mal-nutritioned - not that the male has a problem - fat little guy, but one of the females seems to be a tad thin - she's getting better now that I'm hand feeding her :thumbsup:

Any help is greatly appreciated,

i have always heard of people keeping calcium and vitamins in the same dish year round. I know a lot of people who do it like that and they all have fat lil geckos. Hope this helps?
 
Hello

Hello,

Definitely no problems with leaving a dish of calcium & vitamins mixed up in there for him. They know what they need most of the time, so, they can instinctively go up & get what they need, even if they are not eating a meal at that moment. Then you don't have to worry so much about dusting the feeders.

Hello

Hello,

No problem. If he is eating it out of the dish, then, no need to dust the feeders. :))

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought mixing the Multivitamin powder with the Calcium powder will cancel out the effects of both? I forgot the chemistry behind it, but I recall reading that the mixture causes a significant weakening of the vitamins and calcium...?
