(PLEASE HELP)Jump Start/Didn't Eat Shed Skin

LeoDude7 Aug 11, 2003 04:04 PM

My leo hasn't been eating and I was wonderingwhat to use to hand feed it, or where to get jump-start. Also,this morning I noticed some shed skin that was rolled up, like a leo poo, and was wondering if my leo through it up, or just didn't eat it. I know they usualy eat their dead skin. Is this O.K., or should I be worried? Thanx

I bought my Jump Start at Petco, you can also get it at PetSmart.
I have used it a few times..but havent noticed any effects (good or bad).
You shouldnt be worried about your gecko not eating its shed skin, as long as it has a healthy diet, it should be fine.
Good luck,
