hi guys
i've a problem with a garg(it's born in september '07)...i took it in october 07 in an expo in the north italy.
the guy,just arrived at home,weighed 5gr,now...two months ago..so...in june,I weighed it,and it was 14gr.... :shock: I was expecting something more :lol:
the gecko,eat every day,or every two days,the diet is composed by meal worms,read roach and baby food(fruits) with Ciliatus food by T-rex(I use that,'cause in Italy, I can't find that for gargs)the garg has a length of 15cm
now,I thought to use a diet 2:1 fruits and chicken baby food every three days and the other days insects...what do you think about this?!...please...help
p.s:I apply Rep-Cal on the insects every 3 lunches...i don't know where i'm wrong...
bye

If it has lost so much weight there is obviously something going on. Has it been wormed, I would get it to a good retile vet asap and find out what is going on, good luck

so it weighed 5g when you first weighed it?
Now it weighs 14g? That growth rate sounds fine to me

I have a few of them that I call chubz. They tend to grow just like that! I had one even hatch out at 4g!!! I think your fine and so you know, they don't even make the Gargoyle gecko diet anymore. People feed them the leachie or the crested gecko diets.
