GOLDEN GATE GECKOS SLURRY: This slurry was developed years ago when I was trying to rehabilitate sick geckos. It has helped save the lives of many geckos, and is being recommended and used by many veterinarians and Universities now. Keep in mind that this slurry IS NOT medicine, nor will it cure anything! It is designed to be used as nutrition for anorexic geckos that are off-food and being treated by a veterinarian for a diagnosed clinical disease or illness. Here is my recipe for the mixture:
1 small can Hill's A/D pet food (available at most vets) OR 6 oz. prepared Oxbow Carnivore Care (available at most vets) 1 small jar baby food squash ¼ cup Ensure (not chocolate) ¼ cup Pedialite Contents of 2 capsules Milk Thistle (herbal supplement, liver purifier, found at most drug stores) 1/2 tsp. each calcium powder and herp vitamin powder 3-5 X-large handfuls of mealworms or medium superworms, added slowly while mixture is blending
Puree all ingredients until completely smooth,
adding mealworms until mixture is the consistency of milkshake. Pour into ice cube tray and freeze. Store frozen cubes in
a zip-lock bag
in the freezer until ready to use, then thaw out 1 cube at a time in the empty baby food jar
at room temperature. Keep thawed slurry in the refrigerator for up to
3-4 days, washing the jar and lid thoroughly after each batch.
