HELP my leo has not ate in 3-4 weeks!!!

terry13111 Aug 02, 2006 05:02 PM

I got my leo about 3-4 weeks ago. He has not ate since the day after i got him. He ate a couple of mealworms two weeks ago, but regurgetated them about 12 hours later. What could be the problem. Thanks.

The fact that the gecko couldn't keep the mealworms down at all should have resulted in an immediate trip to the vet. Geckos throwing up is not in any way normal. If it is not too late, and it very well might be depending on the age of the gecko and amount of tail fat left since you have waited so long, the gecko should be taken to a vet that has experience with reptiles without delay.

I couldn't agree more with sleepy. If she hadn't posted, I think my reply to your question would have been darn near identical to hers.

I couldn't agree with you both more, but aren't we leaving out the possibility of the food items being too large? Just a thought
