Keep up the good work. Continue to dust his crickets with calcium for a few days in a row before switching to every other day. Feed him every day. Try the reptivite on his crickets in about 2 days. His coordination will improve as he gets the calcium and vitamins and he starts to get his energy back. The protein in his food will beef him back up slowly (put muscle and weight back on him). Remove any uneaten crickets every morning.

Great job!!!!
haha guilty! I couldnt help myself but to sit there for hours chasing the crickets toward him so he can try and try..I got so excited when he first started and then I realized he was having a real hard time. Then I really got excited when he caught one but I didnt see the usual "swallow". I then watched as if he said "haha just kidding" and took the darn thing right out of his mouth. All my excitement drained and I was like "UGH WHY CANT YOU EVER MAKE THIS EASY ON ME". Then finally after 3 fake outs he finally put one in and swallowed..then some more fake outs and then another one swallowed lol. We tried for more and he was going after more and caught a 3rd about 5 times but he just spat it back at me. By this point hed prolly caught every cricket so there wasnt much left as far as calcium since it all came off in his mouth which I assume is fine. I gave up at that point and let him try by himself for the night while I went to sleep.

As far as reptivite thats different from regular calcium right? I always used calcium with the d3 but never reptivite..Ill pick it up though if he needs it and it will help him. Is there a specific brand I should buy?

Oh and is this zoo-med repti calcium with d3 okay? I saw somewhere that there was a "better" brand. Or does it not really matter which brand you use?

Thanks everyone! sooo much!! I hope its only going to get easier from here on out lol..
