Gargoyle Gecko Supplements: Calcium, D3, and MRP

Quick answer

A quality meal-replacement powder already supplies most calcium, D3, and vitamins. Dust any rotation insects lightly with D3-free calcium, and keep a small dish of plain calcium available at all times.

The MRP does most of the work

This is a major difference from insectivorous gecko species — most of a gargoyle gecko's supplementation happens automatically through its staple food.

Insects

Because the MRP already provides D3, insects offered in rotation are usually dusted with a D3-free calcium powder to avoid stacking D3 from two sources.

Calcium dish

A small dish of plain calcium lets the gecko self-regulate. Replace it if it gets damp from misting.
