Leaving the mealworms for her is a good idea. It might take her a day or two after licking up the vitamin-water before she'll actually eat the mealworms. You may also have to repeat this trick to get her to eat another time.



I had one female who went off of food for months. For a long time I had to keep doing the multivitamin trick a couple times a week just to get her to eat, but she finally started eating completely on her own.



To get some nutrition into her, you can give her Ensure. It's one of those energy drinks they sell at Wal-mart or Target near the pharmacy area. There are different types available, but they have one (Ensure Plus) specifically for putting on weight.

Marcia at goldengategeckos.com has a good recipe for a bug slurry, so I recommend e-mailing her for it.

When administering fluids like this, try not to give over 2% of her body weight in a 24 hour period.
