    Calcium
    How often should I replace the calcium in the tank? Im keeping a small dish of pure calcium in a milk lid inside the tank at all times. Just wondering how often I should replace it or just wait until its all gone which will probably be a while.

    Hmmm....I *think* you just dust the prey with it, can't too much calcium be harmful?

    leos do need to have a dish of calcium available at all times. they will only eat it if/when they need it. i don't replace it that often really, just as needed. it won't go bad as long as it doesn't get feces or a dead cricket or something in it.

    I wasnt sure if it went bad or not. I havnt seen any signs of her eating any of it yet but Ive been dusting all of her mealworms with ICB Leopard Gecko Dust and I think it has calcium in it. I didnt realize that they eat so much either. I got her on monday and she has already almost gone through 50 small mealworms. Im starting to think that I bought a pig instead of a leopard gecko lol.
