Gecko Just wont gain weight
Hi, i got a gecko from Northern Gecko afew months ago, hes a male, he is 1 year old and he weighs about 29 grams, hes stayed at the weight for the 3 monthes ive had him, ive been feeding him exclusively repashy, with a couple crickets 1 time a month, i was wondering some techniques to get him to eat more/gain weight.
Edit: he is active and seems very healthy |

Re: Gecko Just wont gain weight
Sometimes males can hover at the 30 gram mark for some time. You can try feeding weekly crickets, but you might just have to wait it out.

Re: Gecko Just wont gain weight
I'd agree...we had one that hung around the 30 gram mark for a couple of years, then he started slowly building up until about 40 and that's where he stayed. Sometimes they will do that even though you are doing everything right and probably the same as you are for your other geckos.

Re: Gecko Just wont gain weight
It shouldn't really...so long as he isn't completely dwarfed by the females and you see no signs of aggression or anything, then he should be able to get the job done.

Re: Gecko Just wont gain weight
I know i might get reemed for this, but try adding a tiny bit of RepashySuperpigment to their CGD, it works wonders.

Re: Gecko Just wont gain weight
I don't think you'll get reemed for it...but I don't know why the SuperPig would help growth rates. Why do you feel it does?

Re: Gecko Just wont gain weight
Hello, I was going to add also, being with the females may keep him on the slender
side depending on his temperament, etc. Interesting about the SuperPig idea. Best wishes. Melissa |

i just have a feeling certain supplements in the SuperPigment when given in higher dosage stimulate hunger , just a hunch.
