Hello, my female gecko hasn't been doing great since the spring. I bred her this year (she's two now) and she gave me 4 bad clutches. Since that, I don't think she's eaten a single thing. I don't know exactly what she weighed in the spring, but she had a huge tail and was developing fat pockets under her front arms (I didn't have a scale then).
Shes under 35 grams now.
She looks pathetic, and I feel bad for her. I've tried everything I can to get her to eat; offered her crickets, mealworms(her staple) and waxworms(her favorite). She doesn't touch them. I only see her drinking. She doesn't move for food like she used to at all.
She does have feces, a very small amount of brown part(forgot the technical name), equal to the size of the urates. Her tank is clean, she has a water dish, cool hide, humid hide, phosphorus-free calcium dish, and vitamin dusted mealworms.
I really need some advice here, I don't want to lose her.
A vet is almost out of the question. The closest think to an "exotics" vet only sees chinchillas and the sort (no reptiles), and thats a 45 minute drive.
Any advice at all is appreciated. Thanks.
