webber2006 Aug 15, 2006 03:39 PM

i've had my gecko for just over 2 months and i've seen her eat now and then but i put fresh food in with her every time. her tail is looking rather small which i want to fatten up ASAP. I gave her a mealie and she grabbed it but then just dropped it, never even attempted to finish it off. can someone please help me??

thanks
shaun

The vet is probably your best option. It is impossible to make an accurate diagnoses over the internet. A qualified vet should be able to decide whether the problem is parasitic, or something else.

I would say a vet too, but you want to make sure your'e food items aren't too big.
