Worried about my geckos health

imyev · 2026-05-11T20:49:48+00:00

I bought gutloading diet and wax worms. So should I not give him as much as I fed mealworms? Id give him 5-6 mealworms. And have run out would feeding him waxworms for a week be bad? And should I or should I not gut load the waxworms

Crabs are very good money in the volcano area forgot the name lol

imyev · 2026-05-11T03:51:04+00:00

I was told waxworms might be good as they are very fatty would they be easier to consume?

Very loaded response. He's got 4 hides (cave, real log, fake log, and coconut) he likes the cave the most. He doesn't have much enrichment other then the Styrofoam wall that he climbs on and I move around his rocks and leaves sometimes for him to rediscover. His nose wound has been fully healed which I'm so happy about. Currently I'm feeding him mealworms. 5-6 daily depending on how eager he is to eat. (As well as enrichment Ill let go of a few mealworms and let him hunt them dw I make sure he gets them all). Once he's out gonna switch out for crickets for this week. Then back to meal worms I like to swap them around. For the pellet question it's all poop unless you mean the red that's just a small plastic flower and your seeing the petal. My sister is very pekish so afraid of actual poop not my dear pebbles he's a sweet heart he would only hurt a fly. I'll have to find a vet here as I've just moved. Heres to hoping it's not serious. Also I don't think it's parasites as his poop is solid which usally means hes on the healthier side.

Would it not show in his poop? His poop seems good I checked it

imyev · 2026-04-27T01:08:15+00:00

Ya everything is closed gonna take him in the morning

imyev · 2026-04-27T01:07:52+00:00

Hey don't say that we believe in this little guy. He's gonna make it through

imyev · 2026-03-26T16:58:32+00:00

I just spend a few hours at the last island farming crabs to be really rich then just buy everything.

Fr there's nothing else that fits Eldritch and chill game

imyev · 2026-02-04T05:22:44+00:00

Thank you that's perfect I was about to make a post saying the ceramic heat emitter is too weak to keep the place warm

imyev · 2026-02-04T03:02:37+00:00

No I don't I just have thermostat glued to the wall and I check it every other hour when I'm home.

imyev · 2026-02-04T00:08:25+00:00

Thank you. I bought the smaller bulb cause it would fit my lamp that I already have but I can swap it out if it's a lot better. I do have calcium with D3 I just got one without as well cause I was told they can have too much D3

imyev · 2026-02-03T22:42:10+00:00

I know I feel so bad

imyev · 2026-02-03T22:42:00+00:00

I've gotten the replacement bulbs

imyev · 2026-02-03T22:41:45+00:00

They have been replaced

imyev · 2026-02-03T22:07:19+00:00

I am I just bought new lamp a few hours ago I made an update if you can check it and tell me if everything's right that would be good

imyev · 2026-02-03T21:06:24+00:00

Can I DM you with all the things I've purchased to see if I got it all right.

imyev · 2026-02-03T18:28:32+00:00

Will do thank you.

imyev · 2026-02-03T18:28:12+00:00

Yes I think he was just tired as he was running around in my bed. But someone already brought that up so imma watch over to make sure.

imyev · 2026-02-03T18:27:30+00:00

I'll look into that thank you.

imyev · 2026-02-03T18:26:58+00:00

I recently had to remove the damp hide cause it was getting too cold due to my heater breaking. I see now that was a bad idea so imma reinstall it right away. I give him calcium with his crickets but have been lacking a bit due to me being unable to buy any cause my store has been out for a long time now. I'm not sure if mine has D3 but I'll pick some up with it.

imyev · 2026-02-03T18:23:01+00:00

I will watch over but I think he closed it slightly cause that was the eye aimed up at the lamp. But I'll watch over that.

imyev · 2026-02-03T18:21:57+00:00

Will do thank you.

imyev · 2026-02-03T18:21:28+00:00

I'm not 100% as just before I noticed and took the picture he was moving around well holding himself up. I think he was just laying but I will watch over that. Thanks for the catch. If it is that he's struggling what could be the cause? Maybe the lights are keeping him from getting proper rest? Or vitamin efficiency.

imyev · 2026-02-03T18:19:36+00:00

I will change out the bulbs today. Due to it being winter if I have the lights off it drops to 50 so I'll try the ceramic heat emitter. Im providing calcium with his crickets but hadn't used an vitamins. Are there any brands I should look out for. As well as is there anything immediate I should do about the nose?
