Gecko "Soup"

[morphmom]

here is the entire "gecko soup" recipe, i found it searching the internet:

this should only be used in conjunction with Veterinary care and for extreme circumstances

Using a blender, purée:

*1 small can Hill's A/D pet food (available from good veterinarians)
¼ cup Ensure (not chocolate)
1 jar baby food (squash or pumpkin flavored)
¼ cup Pedialite
*2 tabs or the contents of 2 capsules of milk thistle (a herbal supplement used as liver support, found at most drug stores)
*2 tabs or the contents of 2 capsules of Acidophilus (a gastrointestinal probiotic, also found at most drug stores)
1 tsp. calcium powder
1/2 tsp. herp vitamin powder
2-4 extra large handfuls of mealworms - add slowly while the mixture is blending until it reaches the consistency of a milkshake.

* optional ingredients

Blend all of the ingredients until smooth, then pour into an ice cube tray until frozen. Store the cubes in a zip-lock bag, keeping them frozen until ready for use. Once ready, defrost one cube at a time and store in the fridge for 2-3 days. When washed thoroughly after each use, the empty baby food jars are perfect for this purpose.

Using a syringe or pipette (eye dropper), draw 1ml of the mixture and place a drop on your gecko's nose, ensuring not to block its nostrils. Patience is key - do not force-feed! When your gecko begins to lick its nose, very slowly release more of the fluid. The majority of geckos love this food and will have little trouble eating it.
