Slurry Recipe for the long term fasting gecko

1 small can Hill’s A/D pet food (available at most vets)

¼ cup Ensure (not chocolate)

1 jar baby food squash or pumpkin

¼ cup Pedialite

*2 tabs or contents of 2 capsules milk thistle (herbal supplement, liver purifier, found at most drug stores).

*2 tabs or contents of 2 capsules of Acidophilus (GI system probiotic, found at most drug stores).

1 tsp. calcium powder w/Vitamin D3

1/2 tsp. herp vitamin powder

2-4 X-large handful of mealworms, added slowly while mixture is blending until it is about the consistency of a milkshake.


This is the recipe I know, if anyone has any other variants please post them!

You can substitute superworms for mealies as there will be less shell, less chance for constipation or diarhea from too much fiber.

You beat me too it! haha

just wondering how do you get your leos to eat it ive neva had a prob with fussy eaters but if i do it would be handy to know thanks

i have been told you get a syringe and fill it with the slurry and then drop little bits at a time on the tip of their nose and they usually lick it off. if they are stubborn then you would have to force feed them, some one made a thread on how they were able to force feed their leo with a syringe but i'm not sure where that is..

thanks for the info im hopin ill neva have to use it 

lol i agree!
