TUMS as Calcium?

I am positive you will find zoomed repti calcium without d3 or atleast tetra fauna reptocal. I frequent petsmart and 9 times out of 10 find what I need when other shops are closed.

That's a shame your area doesn't have a local shop

Amazon has it if your pet stores do not:

You can get a cuttlebone and crush it up. They are found in the bird aisle and can be used as an alternative.

Unfortunately my localish Petsmart closes at 9pm(even on sat, they are closed now) And when I went there maybe 30min before I posted this, even with the help of 2 employees I could not procure D3less calcium. They do carry Rep-cal, and thanks to musicalkeyes I now know they do infact sell D3less Calcium which I plan to ask them to order for me. Thanks, for the advice and help, every one.

Seeing as your gecko hasn't had calcium in a significant amount of time, you should consider feeding phoenix worms. http://www.phoenixworm.com/servlet/StoreFront

Thanks, I might give them a try. My friend said she wont eat mealworms though. So do you think she will take these guys?

Just remember that she does need D3 to process the calcium, so don't completely deprive her of it.

I also highly recommend Repashy Superfoods ICB for leopard geckos. You can use it pretty much every feeding. I've done so for nearly two years and all my animals are extremely healthy. I almost always see it at PetCo.

Why do you not want D3? It's important to calcium absorption.

Also, Repashy products are great. Don't mess around with something dumb like Tums. Do it right. People like Allen have put time, energy and money into developing something that not only sells, but raises healthy animals.

I don't want D3 for the dish inside the enclosure. I plan to use one containing D3 for dusting the crickets, D3 is a fatsoluble vit, hence to much is toxic.
