I have a roughly 2 year old leopard gecko, that hasnt eaten more than 2 or 3 mealworms in that last 4 months. she's not to the point you can see hip bones, but she is losing weight. she rarley opens her eyes either.

Her setup is a 20L with slate tile, multiple hides, and water and calcium bowls, warm side stays a steady 85-86 and the cool side varys a bit but is usually in the low to mid 70's depending on house temp. i've tried to raise the temp and lower it, both for about two week neither had any success.

she still goes to the bathroom, thou alot less often, sheds regularly, and she's still pretty active compared to her normal habits before this. I've tried, mealworms, superworms, wax worms, and crickets, she wont even pay attention to any of it. I've had ones in the past that slowed down eating but never completely stopped. and unfortunally there is no reptile vet in the area.

any help would be great.
