Dubia sells them live
Nutrigrubs and calcigrubs are also bsfl
Same as Phoenixworms
They’re just trademarked names
okay thank you! i cant seem to get my leos weight down, hes not necessarily overweight hes 56g and hes only 4-5 months old, he just has constant air pouches and ive tried lowering his calcium intake n changing his diet, but i saw someone mentioned changing their feeding schedule but im not so sure
Do you have a top down pic of him standing up on a hard surface?
i have this photo of him in the bowl i used to weigh him, not sure if its the best
Ahhh I see what you mean by the small boobies
sometimes i think theyre getting bigger and im so AUGHHH he had them before then they went away and now theyre back. i was thinking that, they rlly look like he has boobs now
And you’re sure he’s a male? 
Reason I ask is some geckos here that are female get them for what seems to be seasonal reasons. They come and go. Like my girl apricot- she’s started getting them again
so my vet when I took apricot in suggested it’s possibly a hormonal thing.
They generally aren’t harmful and stuff but they can be super frustrating to not know what’s causing them
I ended up going to the vet for them and getting apricot’s aspirated to make sure they weren’t anything bad
Poor girl had her tiddies poked
WELL I SHOULD HOPE SO
he looks male but im no professional, im seconds away from going the vet but i dont wanna seem like im overreacting
In terms of weight and stuff his body condition doesn’t look bad. His belly may be a bit round but he’s also curved a bit there so :0
Okay yeh das a man
How often are you feeding him?
You can see them a bit better here, i took that photo today. Every other day, he has locusts and mealworms as well as silkworms usually, not sure if i should change one of his staples, but they dont look too high in fat rlly
I just
Realized you’re from the uk
I sent you a us link
Let me grab the uk food seller I’m dying
AHAHSHDH YEAH
Here’s one seller that we have on the shopping list
Annnd
I think griff has mentioned another before
if theyre high in calcium is it still good to feed him, just thinking incase calcium is causing those pouches, IVE JUST TRIED SM and got 0 results, i dont even know how long i need to continue before i actually see any difference
They’re good feeders but you can also try dubias and such :0 they also sell them
I know the feeling though
That’s where I was with apricot
how long did yours have hers for? its been around 2 weeks for mine now, not sure when or if theres a point i need to schedule a vet appointment for them because what if they just come back? and uk vets r sketchy sometimes and lit tell you what u alr know
Until April this year
She had them from around this time to then
So around until breeding season roughly
And then they disappeared
And now they’re back
Hence why I kinda just have chalked it up to seasonal/hormonal shit cus I did the diet changes and supplementing changes. Nothing worked, the vet poked at her boobies and they weren’t anything harmful (they’re not air bubbles btw) and so. Yeh.
Likeeee here
If you wanna talk big gecko tiddies
