Oh I just saw your comment and I had actually asked this in a seperate comment, but is there a specific formula to leopard gecko supplementation, ie x mcg of calcium per g of bodyweight or something of the sort? I hate guessing, of course the gutloaded amount is a variable in this but it would tremendously help to have a baseline to work with! I would really appreciate a reply back Also, I have been desperately trying to get my hands on the shade dweller and dhp (in the US) but every company that carries it is out of stock. I have emailed them all (yep I did that) asking if they had a rough approximate date on when it may be back in stock but the ones I've heard back from have not thus far had an answer. Do you have any insight as to when more shipments will be going to the US? And could you possibly give me some more retailer names that carry your products because all I'm looking at right now is reptilesupply, Josh's frogs, bio dude and pangea. Thanks!

How do you best gut load your insects please? I feed a single Leopard Gecko which we have owned for 3 months now and I keep a variety of foods for him inc locusts, dubia, morio and meal worms. I have been making sure they have food in the tubs I am keeping them in on a daily basis but the Retile Network article file I have just read recommends to split the food you intend to feed your reptile 12 hours before and then gut load and hydrate to the maximum. I am using the Arcadia insect fuel, bug gel for hydration plus a variety of veg which is all topped up and they are kept under the Viv. Is my method obtaining sufficient nutritional value to the insects or should I be feeding less often to make sure they are fully loaded before feeding to my Gecko. Many thanks.

@@speedymadr6 i keep reading you are supposed to gutload 24 hrs before feeding Not at all saying I'm 100% sure that's correct, that's just what I keep reading but I'm going to keep looking around if I see any other info out there. But I will primarily be dusting and offering the supplement in a dish so gutloading is secondary to me. Would be nice to get some input. I had my question too but I guess they didn't get the notification about a reply 🙁

I didn’t actually read your comment foley it’s too long so yeah xD

ooh thanks for this info, didn't know you have to let them stay for at least an hr to 32 degree. if you leave them 24hrs will that still be considered gut loaded?

story of my life 😂😂

miss.jaiden, I just use tweezers, and basically prod the food with my finger

Aishik Sinha I used to use the tweezers they came with until my dad broke them 😂

Lol

haha 😂

That pic makes this comment terrifying.

Minnies my dogs name

Minnie is my fishes name

haha i'm used to it now, especially with Minnie lol

@@leopardgeckotalk, I have a question. Please reply. I got a new baby leo last week. She's albino and really hates light. I was wondering this. I did a bunch of research before getting her and when I got her, we bought calcium mixed with vitimen d3. Do I still need to use the uvb lamp( wich is 5.0 lowest I could find) when I use the cal/D3? I don't want to over dose her ,Plus like I said she hates light and is basically living in darkness right now. So my question is as long as she still gets the vitimen d3 do I still need a uvb lamp. I've been taking as much advise from your videos as possible but I can't find anything on what I just said. Please help P.S. I also got her multivitamins.

@@leopardgeckotalk plus if she does need a uvb lamp. It would be a waist because she won't bask in it.

Kathleena Millican, you shouldn’t have any type of heat lamp in your Leo’s enclosure

It happened to me too.

😂🤣

Geo the Leo I think the locus looks like a grass hopper

Factual 👌🏻😂

Nicole Frank true

@@nicolefrank4774 well a locust is just another type of grasshopper

*m mM m skIn tasTeE*

😂😂

I don't like feeding locusts because when they die they look...Aaaaaaaahhhhdidkdfqjwud I can't bear to look at locust carcasses

Onion Face ugh same!! I just prefer a variety worms, can’t handle jumpy things!!

@Onion Face oh I thought Dubia roaches were the cleanest feeder insects-

Awww 🙈 the last 3 locusts got eaten last night and I felt so bad

Leopard Gecko the big faces 🥺🥺

Mark VaZ 👁👅👁

😂😂 yes!!

🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂😀😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😀😂😂😂🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂

Mine is like that too

Reptile carpet isn’t a good substrate since it catches their teeth and claws and harbours bacteria. Unfortunately your Petco most likely still gets their animals from mills. It’d be best to avoid buying animals from them.

@What the Gracie yea it isn’t the best, but better then sand

@What the Gracie girl please replace that sand it won't change anything that its vitamin sand if the gecko eats it he will get impacted. Vitamin sand or not.

haha

Did it hurt??

Domiiniic sorry to hear that

I'm soooo sorry Domiiniic

Aww I am so sr to hear that I had an anole before they are awesome

Sorry for your loss, loosing a pet is very hard.

😭😭😢

Their teeth are so tiny it dosnt hurt wgen they bite😆

Aw awesome! Good luck :D

Omg same, she's really helped me learn more about leos

Ikr 😂 ah yeah variety is best :)

No problem :)

Aren't locusts available in the US?

@@leopardgeckotalk locust are invasive in the US so only us Brits can use them

@@meowpurrr invasive? So theyll infest your tanks? Why are they not like that in uk?

@@user-zq6yz5gf6d they're invasive like burmese pythons, tegus, and iguanas are in Florida

oh yeah my tarantula loves them

I guess your leopard gecko loki likes them. Pun intended (if you didn't notice loki or how it sounded in my mind low key

@@crunchy9093 he's not so Loki about liking them, he goes mad for them 😂

Ah nice :) maybe I fed too many 🙈

@@leopardgeckotalk hi, can you do a short video of you booping your leopard gecko's noses. It would be cute/funny/idk if you would do itn

Loki is a great name for a gecko. My Leopard Gecko's name is Tango. I also have a Crested Gecko named Rico.

😂😂

thanks 😂

Naruto!!

haha yes

I didnt even see it running off until i watched that timestamp!

yeah 😂

Aww wow, that's awesome. My boyfriend really wants quails 😅

@@leopardgeckotalk Really cute birds! I lost my boy 2 weeks ago but he was the calmest bird I've ever had. The girlies are very shy so I don't try to 'pet' them. Really fun raising them though, defiently do it one day!

Ah very nice!

😂😂

This is true, on the other hand, we are not allowed horned worms, which we would love over here :-) so its 6 and two 3s.

Aw I'm so sorry to hear about your leo :'( I'm glad he/she loved locusts though 💕

@@leopardgeckotalk thank you so much means a lot ❤❤:)

ah nice :)

Please don’t buy from backwater reptiles! They’re a mill, and their animals often arrive sick or dead. Check morph market, just research the breeder before buying. It’s better to buy from smaller hobbyist breeders rather than large scale breeders.

Fiona Shepley thank you very much for the information I will check out breeders!

Omg I have to learn to watch all the vid .. Now mini you all chews up

Awesome, hope it goes as well as it went for me :)

I think she already has

Yeah there's quite an old video I did on this, but the info is still pretty relevant. Make sure the food is the correct size, not too big. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lb6WbMJ9sM3FhY0.html

Ah right so I got the number of locusts about right? :')

Maybe. I might have to check up on it though

Ah maybe, I already have a fb page, but fb doesn't seem to get as much reach, I'm not sure if many people would join the forum lol

Leopard Gecko yeah that makes sense, KZfaq and Instagram are more powerful platforms and u rock them!! Thanks for replying🦎

nice :D

Aw that's brilliant to hear :) hope she settles in nicely :)

Bio dude?

Thank you :) Aw that's cool :)

She actually has a whole video of recommend names😂 I want a gecko and name it zuko if it's a boy or yue/ toph if it's a girl. They are characters from avatar the last airbender 😌
