I've had my little boy for about 6 months now and he was reportedly around 4 months when I got him. He has been dewormed, his poop is normal looking, and he eats like a pig but he is not gaining any weight nor getting much bigger at all. I can't figure it out. I know he's eating very well because all his food is gone every morning and I feed him about 8 mealworms or 10-12 crickets every other night. I have even given him extra food if he still seems hungry after he has eaten. He is an active little snot and he's got an attitude on him, he's just very very small. He gets his food dusted plus a calcium dish in his tank. I have another gecko that's about 2 years old and she doesn't eat nearly as much yet is growing. I haven't figured it out. Any ideas?

i dont know how to help your problem, but Beck is awesome.
If he was a runt it might take him a little while to grow. you can try dusting his food with calcium as well he might not no how to take it out of the dish. Its most likely that he didn't get as long to incubate in the egg and was premature A small gecko is still a good gecko. Oh yeah how big is he i mean are we talking 4 in or 7 in if he is around 40 grams and about 7 in it means he is most likely just a runt and that he is fine health wise. GOod luck
