i've had my gecko for just under a week now and she still isnt eating, i've seen her eat once and that was a waxy. i've stuck a few millworms in there and a lid of calcum, she also has a bowl of water is there something i'm doing wrong or is she just settling in?
thanks in advance

chances are she's still settling into her new environment. if she's healthy and alert other than that, i wouldn't worry too much. wait a day or two and then offer her food. i know my leos won't eat as much if i provide food everyday...they have better appetites when the food comes along on different nights.

What was she eating before? I have leos that will not even look at a mealworm as food. You can try a few crickets and see if that works. Just drop like 2-3 in the cage overnight and see what happens.

LOL.. and my Leos won't touch cricket - they'll only eat mealworms 
I agree - she is probably just acclimating. Give her some peace and quiet for a while, she'll probably be fine
