Leopard geckos not eating? Make The Slurry, by Golden Gate Geckos

This should only be used if your gecko has not eaten for a long period of time.In a blender, combine:*1 small can Hill's A/D pet food (available at most vets)¼ cup Ensure (not chocolate)1 jar baby food squash or pumpkin¼ cup Pedialite*2 tabs or contents of 2 capsules milk thistle (herbal supplement, liver purifier, found at most drug stores).*2 tabs or contents of 2 capsules of Acidophilus (GI system probiotic, found at most drug stores). 1 tsp. calcium powder w/Vitamin D31/2 tsp. herp vitamin powder2-4 X-large handful of mealworms, added slowly while mixture is blending until it is about the consistency of a milkshake.*optional ingredientsPuree all ingredients until completely smooth. Pour into ice cube tray(s) and freeze. Store cubes in zip-lock bag in the freezer until ready to use, then thaw out 1 cube at a time and store in fridge for 2-3 days. You can use the empty baby food jar for this purpose, washing it thoroughly after each use.Using this mixture, draw a full 1ml dropper (eye dropper type) or a syringe and place a drop on the gecko's nose, being careful not to plug the nostrils. Be patient and do not force-feed! The gecko will lick it of its nose, and as it does, slowly squeeze out a little at a time. Most geckos love this food, and will lap it up.
