    Do you use supplements and gut load his food?

    i gut load his food with the fluker cricket diet. we dont use any calcium or anything since the food says it has extra calcium in it

    Sometimes gutloading isn't enough. Are you able to take him to the Herp Vet?

    $60.00 is pricey. It only costs me $20.00. Is that the Herp Vet? You could take a sample to a regular Vet for an exam if its cheaper, but he will need a Vet. If he has parasites you'll need meds.
