Anybody have a slurry without any hard-to-find ingredients?

[P-in-P]

Topic pretty much explains it.

What I have at my disposal;

Calsium
Vitamin suplement
Crickets, mealies, wax worms

I looked at the G3 Slurry, but I don't know what the heck some of these ingredients are;

In a blender, combine:
1 small can Hill's A/D pet food (available at most vets) ?

1/4-1/3 cup Ensure (not chocolate) ?

1 jar baby food squash --- is this just regular human baby food that comes in a yar?

1/4-1/3 cup Pedialite - Never heard of

2 crushed tablets or contents of 2 capsules Milk Thistle (herbal supplement, liver purifier, found at most drug stores.) ?

1/2 tsp. each calcium powder and herp vitamin powder - AHA! Finally one I understand.

1 large handful of mealworms - And this one too ^^

Re: Anybody have a slurry without any hard-to-find ingredien

1 small can Hill's A/D pet food (available at most vets) ? This is just a canned dog food which you can find at most vets and even Petsmart I believe

1/4-1/3 cup Ensure (not chocolate) ? This is a meal replacement powder you can make shakes with, you can find it at Walmart or anywhere really

1 jar baby food squash --- is this just regular human baby food that comes in a yar? Yep, regular baby food

1/4-1/3 cup Pedialite - Usually in the baby department, it is a clear liquid used to hydrate

2 crushed tablets or contents of 2 capsules Milk Thistle (herbal supplement, liver purifier, found at most drug stores.) ? You can find this in drug stores or anywhere that sells vitamins, they will be in a bottle just like the rest of the vitimins with Milk Thistle on the front

Sorry I wasn't able to help with another slurry, but this is the best one out there that I have found and worth the work to get the materials together, the thing is once you buy it one time, you will have it for awhile, goes a long way.

Yes, it helps me a bit further.

But since I live in Europe I don't have the oportunity to visit neither Walmart nor Petsmart.

Is there any big differense in the different dog foods which you can buy in petstores? Is there some particular ingredients I should look for?

I do have protein powder, but it is chocolate

Wouldn't it make a nutricious slurry if i just use mealies, cal, vitamin supplement and well fed crickets?

She is not underweight, nor dehydrated, but I think she needs both cal and vitamin supplement.

The reason why she doesn't get enough of this is beacuse she quite rarely eats when i drop powdered crickets into her enclosure, but rather wait until the crickets get most of it off.

The only option for me to get her to eat the food right away is to offer something very tasty like a wax worm or a moth, but they contain almost exclusively fat, and that won't be good for her in the long run. She is allready about 74grams and got small bags of fat under her arms (she is quite long though so she isn't unhealty fat yet).

Thanks for you answear anyway

The slurry is for emergencys or to keep your leo alive. Not to be sure they get calcium or vitamins. What are your substrate temps if they dont get to 88-92 then that is why she has no appitite. Also keep a small lid or dish of pure calcium with no d3 or phosphorus in her tank at all times, if she needs calcium she will eat it. If shes not losing weight then dont worry. You can also try a different feeder item. Butter worms and phoenix
closely resemble a wax worm and are high in calcium so these might trick her.So enjoy your fat healthy leo she may not be eating because she is already nutritionally satisfied. and remember they are built to go for long periods of time with no food. thats why they store food in there fat tails.
If you still want to make the slurry pm me and i will help you get the ingredients. I have some of them already and i can save you some money. cheers
