Questions as a new leopard gecko owner

She has a digital thermometer and her temp is 90 so its perfect.

Excellent!

One link you shared shows a leo digging. You say Rio is not doing any of those things, that Rio is not digging. Digging is exactly what she needs to do, but she won't dig on paper towels. That's why she needs a warm humid hide that's spacious enough to contain coco fiber.

I don't know whether you can put coco fiber in Rio's current humid hide.

Just because leopard geckos look " round" doesn't mean they're egg bound. They can be gravid, but they can ovulate or reabsorb the egg for nutrients. I''ll see if I can get some Zoo Med Reptivite with D3. I already have Reptivite without D3 in her tank 24/7. How often do I dust? If I do use Miner All Indoor, I lightly dust the feeders every feeding?

Sometimes the gecko can't reabsorb the eggs.

You already mentioned that Miner-All instructions for adult geckos say: "Lightly dust at every 3rd feeding."

Remove any multivitamin, with or without D3, from Rio's tank right away!

Have you been using 2 multivitamins: Miner-All Indoor (contains D3) + Zoo Med's Reptivite multivitamins with D3? If you have, she could overdose! Miner-All Indoor multivitamins and Reptivite with D3 multivitamins are definitely NOT interchangeable!

***All you need now is Zoo Med's Repti Calcium with D3.

Use only Zoo Med's products according to this schedule.

Weekly Schedule 126 for Leopard Geckos 18 months old +
(without UVB)

Crickets or dubia >> Monday - lightly dusted with Zoo Med Repti Calcium with D3
Crickets or dubia >> Thursday - lightly dusted with Zoo Med ReptiVite multivitamins without D3
Mealworms >> Saturday - no dusting

Future weeks:
Continue on since all weeks are identical. . . . . .

SHoot, I meant Repticalcium without D3. I have that and Miner All indoor. The calcium is in a milk cap so she can lick the calcium as she feels the need to.
