Flying geckos very sick.

[DrJekyl_MrHyde]

One of mine flying gecko seem not to be climbing and on the been on the ground for two days ... read from elsewhere that if a flying geckos stay on the ground mean is sick or dying ? When i catch it out it seem like very weak but the day before it was feeding very well...also notice that his legs are like trembling like cramp up like that..any idea what happen to my geckos?

How can i treat it?

Sick flying gecko---help!

Hi ~

Looks like you are covering all the bases for posts to help your sick flying gecko! Great idea. Please refer to your original posting. I described in detail what I think you should do.

Maybe somebody else has other ideas?

Leg trembles are often an early sign of Metabolic Bone Disease. Make sure all his food is dusted with calcium and if you can, get a UVB/UVA light setup for him. I notice my flyers seem to enjoy coming out to bask in the lights and I have a UVB and a UVA bulb setup for them.

If he will eat them, add Phoenix worms into his diet, they are rich in calcium and have saved many a reptile with early Metabolic Bone Disease.

Hope he recovers
