Reply To: Is This Mouth Rot? How to Clean Eyelash Crested Gecko's Teeth?

[Julia Reyes]

Thank you! Of course, I am glad that he is doing much better now. The vet said we caught it early and Kronos healed very quickly. I still brush his teeth with the oral cleansing gel twice a week.

We have been leaving the calcium out of his gecko food, which he eats five times a week, but dusting his insects with Calcium and D3 – he has four crickets once a week and six black soldier fly larvae once a week. He also gets a fruit – mango, blueberry, melon, or banana – in the mornings on Saturdays and Wednesdays as a treat, which is also dusted. They say that his gecko food has the right amount of calcium in it, but do you think we should also be mixing the calcium powder into his gecko food as well?
