So I have a Mourning Gecko that I had placed with my House Gecko. She, Pampers, was missing her tail and I thought Heinz had bit it off. So I did some research and found out Mourning geckos and House geckos hate each other! So I separeted her and put her in a 5.5 gallon tank.
After searching a bit more on the web I also found out that she should have other Mourning geckos with her since they do better in communal groups.
The point I'm getting at, she's all by herself in this cage without her tail and is really thin thanks to Heinz. She's also refusing to eat too so I don't know what to do, any comments?
Thank you!

Hi ~

What are you feeding your mourning gecko? Besides lightly dusted crickets, mourning geckos will eat Clark's Frugivorous Powdered Diet, Repashy's Meal Replacement Powder, banana & peach & mango baby foods. Those baby foods can be mixed with chicken baby food for protein.

Are you using a phosphorous-free calcium powder with D3? I like the Rep-Cal brand.

Hello

I am using the Rep-Cal but not the fancy D3 vitamin one. I got her to lick off some jelly but I know that isn't the healthiest option. I didn't know about the baby foods, that sounds like a good choice. I'll get on that Can she eat straight up fruits or it has to be baby food?

She really needs the Rep-Cal with the D3 . D3 helps metabolize calcium.

Get Gerber's First Foods. Banana is the favorite of mine. However, lightly dusted crickets are their mainstay.

She might be interested in "straight up" fruits...mangoes, papaya, bananas---mashed.

I gave her mango last night actually, and I'll go get some of the D3 Rep-Cal. And I'll go with banana then. Thank you!

Mango is fine if she eats it and if it has relatively low levels of vitamin A.
