Suggestions for putting weight on Leopard Geckos??

[Elizabeth Freer]

Awesome, i will make sure i pick up all the right products if i am missing anything.

Thanks again!

Do they look decent weight in the pics i posted? They both seem to be steadily growing the darker (Dilly) a little faster then the albino (Ciego). - im not really sure on the age.. of course getting them from a petstore.. they didnt know a heck of a lot about them or their care.

Thank you!

I found the hornworms that are sold in my local petstores are very big and i feel nervous feeding them something large. Ive never asked to see the silkworms so i will ask when im in there next, maybe they are small enough to fed to my two.

I do already have the plain calcium in their tanks and i do dust the crickets but i think i will try to see if my petstore supplies the calcium with all the added vitamins.

Their weights look alright. Dilly could have a fatter tail.

You want the smallest hornworms. Can you get those online?

Ill take a look at ordering online. Ill see if i can order them through the petstores as well. I mean if they are ordering huge ones then im sure they can order some smaller ones as well.

Hopefully with that added to the diet it will put the right amount of weight on them.

Great idea to piggyback on your pet store's order!

I have heard of no leos to date who dislike hornworms. They must be telling us something ;-)

Lmao well thats good news to hear, i dont want to be trying to force feed them something as currently their appetites are awesome.

Only thing left that id really like to figure out is what gender they are for sure.

The pet store sold them as males - apparently they are an all male animal store, but i think they were way to young to even be able to figure that one out. because they dont have the distinguished "V" shape on them (there is a slight one but its very faded and i have to look for it) and only the albino seems to have slight lumps behind the vent. but it might just be the way im holding it or how its tail is.

Im glad i like the names enough to keep then whether they turn out to be boys or girls

Ya i have spent time staring at the computer screen that link and examining them.

It still has me not leaning 100% towards one or the other.
