These two would be better.
This one is calcium without D3 that you use every feeding.
https://www.skroutz.gr/s/15768936/Φ...IUM-WITHOUT-D3-227-G-A33-8E.html?from=catspan
This one is multivitamin and vitamin D3 that you use one feeding every 2 weeks.

It looks like it would work the same.

Ask all the questions you need to. We’re all here to help and we don’t mind answering questions.
Did you stop using the reptivite all the time? It can take time for the over supplementation issues to go away. He was getting massive amounts of D3 and A which are both fat soluable and store in their tissue.
Are you dusting the one feeder he is eating though?

yes with polyurethane foam
See my feedback in bold. Everything is basically spot on. Now if he stopped eating due to over supplementation this can take a few months to totally get the supplements out of his body. Repashy calcium plus has fat soluble vitamins so they store in the tissues. But the eyes are looking much better.

Yeah veileds eat leaves though.
So everything else is on point. Supplements are correct now...
Get the fecal done if possible to rule out a parasite issue.
And see if you can get these in a small size. They may be interesting to him if he is bored with the current feeders. https://www.feeders.gr/product/ακρίδες/
If this is supplement related then he just needs more time.
Adding more plants to the cage would be good as well.
