I got my leopard gecko "Griff" august 30th, i don't know how old he is, or how much he weighed when we got him but i know he was healthy and had a good weight on him.
a month after we got him he started losing weight but he would still eat, he just wouldn't gain the weight back
we took him to a vet after his ribs and spine started showing
and had four fecal samples tested all came back negative for any parasites.
his temps. are 90-93 on the warm side he has a warm dry hide and a warm moist hide, the warm side is regulated by a hydro farm thermostat
his temps. are 75 on the cool side
the cool side has a thermometer to regulate it
his tank dimensions are 36 x 18 x 16
he has a water dish, a clear food dish and 4 hides in all
i keep 5 crickets in the clear dish at all times and feed him wax worms to try and get his weight up (no success in this attempt)
i have tried feeding him protein A/D mixed with chicken baby food he refused it entirely
he has only eaten the head of one cricket and one wax worm today and refused anything else
the crickets have food and water (flukers cricket food) at all times.
this is all the info i have, if i missed anything just let me know or ask and i will answer.
