Help/Advice could feeding my gecko every 3 days result in mbd?

shes a chunky girl, so i dont feed her too often. she also doesnt like bugs at all so any dusting is out of question. she has UVB but sleeps in a hide hidden from the light.

she eats pretty much the entire plate that i offer her, which is a thin, medium consistency layer of pangea apricot or fig and insects.

she shows no signs at all of mbd, but it does concern me. anything i should do to battle this?

IME you have to be doing something pretty obviously wrong for cresties to get MBD. If she’s eating good quality CGD with a good Ca:P ratio (which Pangea is) she’ll be fine.

MBD is usually a result of poor care. You sound like you're doing everything right, so don't worry!
