We purchased a teenage Tokay Gecko from our local reptile store. Obviously this one was caught in the wild. We've had him for a couple of days now and he has yet to eat. I know sometimes it takes a couple of days for them to get settled in a new environment, but I am still concerned. He has been drinking when we mist the tank, but I haven't seen him eat the crickts or superworms we've put in there as well. How long until we should start worrying about him not eating? And is force feeding with a pump the only option? Any help or advice would be welcome. He's housed in a 40 long with lots of artificial plants and a climbing branch, with a red heat light at one end of the tank.
