My son has recently acquired a leopard gecko, which stopped eating. Having checked out a question from this site which gave some very interesting info about calcium sand substrate (I have now changed to paper towel), I took him to the vet, who in the event doesn't think he is impacted, and gave me Lectade for him to keep him hydrated. Vet went into detail with me about the habitat, feeding etc we have provided. Seem to be doing everything right, but he said we needed a UVB light which allows the lizard to process vitamins and minerals. I had thought that because they are nocturnal, this would not be necessary. I have started him on 'Moon Drops' once a week which boost Vit D3. Any thoughts ?
I also thought I would mush up some meal worms and a touch of Nutrobal calcium powder into a 'soup' with the Lectade, which I am giving him with a dropper. Is that a good idea ?!
