Lump under leopard geckos right leg in armpit area, help

[Green_Day_94]

So, I am concerned, my 3-4 month leopard gecko hs developed a lump under his right side armpit and I don't know what it is, I have read online that it's build up called a "side-boob" or a "mini-fridge" so to speak, it's about pea sized and he limps when he puts pressure on his right leg, I just wanted to know if it's anything serious, I would post a picture but he on let me see his leg, if anyone can give me am answer about what this is or could be it would be greatly appreciated, thank you

I have just discovered he has them in both side and that they're called calcium build ups

Best to stick with one thread for all your issues about Gibson.

I feed him cricks and mealworms

What do you feed your crickets and mealworms?

Some people think those side lumps could result from excessive protein in the diet.

i use flukers two in one cricket feed for my crickets, it's yellow and provides food for them, and i drop little pieces of potatoe in with my mealworms, and i have started to dust his food in Calcium+D3 powder, he might have MBD in his front leg so i need to get some Calcium into his diet so he can heal, i'm freaking out. hopefully he'll be fine

I also replied to your other Blog thread? Did you see that?

What brand calcium with D3 did you get? D3 content in different brands varies widely. Too much D3 can be as harmful as too little D3.

Sometimes Flukers products are not very good. Any chance you could either get an All Purpose Poultry Feed or Zoo Med's Natural Bearded Dragon Food Adult Formula to feed your crickets?

Some people use a bed of wheat bran for their mealworms.

Is this the Flukers gel feed you use: Fluker's Orange Cube Complete Cricket Diet | Food | PetSmart

Guaranteed Analysis:
Crude protein (min.) 3.5%, crude fat (min.) 0.1%, crude fiber (max.) 0.5%, moisture (max.) 92%, calcium (min.) 580 ppm.

Please note the ingredients: very low in protein...mostly moisture.

Very good idea to feed crickets a dry diet that contains 15-20% protein and no more than 5% fat. The dry diet should also contain vitamin A acetate, important for healthy eyes and skin. Both pesticide-free dandelions and greens and collard greens are very high in calcium.
