Hi everyone, I have a little guy tokay gecko just got it from my friends recently, he look cute but very poor and sad condition, I feed him with a cricket and some insect as I could get around me, until now I still not happy with what I did actually. I need some advise on how to apply the right organic vitamin that can help my tokay gecko look healthy and breed faster as possible. So could you list the available supplements you know of here. Include the brand name and if possible the manufacturer. Any advise is really great. Thank you in advance

Hello ~

A hearty welcome to Geckos Unlimited ! Good to see that you reposted this in the forums instead of your blog. This way more folks will see your post!!!

I have never had tokays. For my other geckos I use Rep-Cal phosphorous-free calcium with D3 and Rep-Cal Herptivite with Beta Carotene. Can you get Rep-Cal products in Malaysia?

You say your request is urgent. What are his symptoms?

Could you post a picture of your gecko here?

Hi Elizabeth, good to see you again over here . In fact in malaysia we could get many thing as well over here as long we know exactly with what we want.

For the time being my tokay gecko is a bit aggressive and still wild with me he did bitten me a few time when I try to hold him, but I'm lucky because I used a glove ... My uncle advised me don't too much playing with him for now because this gecko could be dead if he felt too much stress from the environment.

I build a cage of size 700mm(W)X2000mm(L)X1000mm(H) and I put inside a few bamboo stick for his convenience to hide when he like, anyway this cage doesn't look good for me it just for temporary only, I planned to create an outdoor mini garden at my backyard very soon once I have a bit free from my routine. For sure I'll post it into this forum to share the opinion from you guys.

Actually I just need some advise or recommendation to guide me on how to purchase the right stuff to breed the tokay gecko in the proper way, for now I don't think so he's in bad condition, because he still have appetite with meal but he just look thin as spouse to be, I wish he could get fat as possible within this short period under my care and love.

Below is the result from my research from various site regarding supplement vitamin for all lizard, I hope it's will be benefit for all member who just beginner like me, and one more thing I still can't choose the right one from the list below, if any one of you can give some opinion It's really great...

Actually, dog food has very poor nutritional content for geckos.

Dog food is way too high in protein and way too high in fat.

You want to feed your crickets something that is no higher than about 20% protein and about 4% fat. Some ideas are chicken mash, alfalfa hay (excellent for high calcium to low phosphorous ratio), dry oatmeal in a pinch. Here is a link which has been posted here: Feeder Insect Diets & Gutload

Too much fat in the diet will lead to fatty liver disease (gout, hepatic lipidosis).

try to give Reptaid.. U could also inject small amount of reptaid in the gut of the crickets before u give it to your gecko..
