Tokay gecko

[Lizardfreak16]

Hey, other reptile enthusiasts i am pretty new to geckos unlimited but i have a serious question to ask. My tokay is really small and i have had her for a year and she hasn't grown. Recently she broke her jaw its seems like but she can still move and when she tries to eat she misses and when i hand feed her she refuses. What do i do any ideas? Thank you

How are you supplementing her with calcium and vitamins? What do you feed her feeders?

Your post will get more attention if you begin a new thread in the tokay forum.

I dust her crickets with calcium with d3 three days a week and I am giving her repti boost.I feed her feeder cricket water gel and cricket crumbs with chopped up carrot.

What is in Cricket Crumbs? It is very important to feed the feeders a healthy diet 24/7 to build a healthy feeders for your geckos to eat.

Are you lightly dusting the prey? What are the temps in her cage?

Too much D3/vitamins is as harmful as too little.

Here is what I do: http://www.geckosunlimited.com/comm...-feeding-issues/68574-cricket-guidelines.html

I am sure you will be able to find the appropriate temperatures right here:

The FAQ link above about posting attachments also refers to photos. Did you try to post pictures that way? If you follow that step-by-step you should be able to attach thumbnail photos from your hard drive.

Don't have a digital camera or a cell phone. Some of my northern velvet geckos can be found on my Oedura castelnaui caresheet in the caresheet subforum. I have 0.1 leo, 1.0 crestie, many northern velvets, 1.1 flyers, 2.1 Phelsuma barbouri, many mourning geckos, 1.1 C p zebraicus, 1.0 L kimhowelli, and 1.0 Phyllurus platurus.

Here's what Riverside Reptiles shares on the nOOb forum: - Here's a link to how to attach your pictures directly from your hard drive:
Geckos Unlimited - FAQ: vBulletin FAQ

That /\ is the same link I shared above.


- You can also post photos the old school HTML way. Make yourself an account with Photo bucket or Image Shack or one of the other free posting services. And then upload your photos to them and they will give you the html "code" to enter into the body of your post. Most of these posting services will give you explicit directions on how to do this if you can't figure it out.

Sorry I don't have a cell phone or a digital camera to take pictures of my setups.

That's to bad but the photos of the northern velvets are cool they look like very fascinating geckos.

 

[Elizabeth Freer]

Yes, I have been breeding those velvets (and the mourning geckos) for a long time. They are pretty cool. Even got 8 hatchling velvets in 2012 which are maturing nicely.
