Will a leopard gecko be hurt if it eats a little of its own droppings?

I have a leopard gecko and when he went to take a bite out of a cricket he accidentally got alittle of the white things that are on the gecko droppings in his mouth, wil this b a problem? thanksWill a leopard gecko be hurt if it eats a little of its own droppings?
he should be absolutly fine my gecko did that and he is fine. As lond as the poop was normal he should regurgitate it or poop it out again. Thank you for being interested in your geckos health keep up the good work and always watch him when he eats to make sure hes eating normally.Will a leopard gecko be hurt if it eats a little of its own droppings?
the ';white things'; is actually his excess calcium that he ingested, you dont need to worry about it. but watch out that the crickets and mealworms dont eat his droppings, it contains certain bacteria that, when ingested by the leo's pray, multiplies within the pray and when the leo eats the pray its stomach gets overloaded by the amount of bacteria and he gets sick. so clean up his dropping every day or second day, that way you will prevent something like that to happen.





Good Luck!
it came out of him so if if eat it again not a big deal but make sure shes not doing it alot she should be fine
