I have had my Leopard Gecko 6 weeks. He has eaten 6 times. I have set up the proper habitat with warm/cool sides, varied the diet from dead to live crickets, meal worms, and wax worms. I have even tried to feed him through a syringe (powder mix for under-nurished reptiles). I also made a visit to the Vet but his information was outdated and offered no help. The gecko is clearly underweight and is not as active as he appeared at the pet store. Any suggestions??

it is most likely that ur leo has parasites. try Penacur. remember JUST A SMALL LICK OF YOUR FINGER IS ENOUGH. you shoul start to see results in less than an hour... repeat this process in 2 weeks to be sure all the pasasites r gone..... try this, and let us know how it works out.

I tried the Panacur, but I haven't seen any change within 24 hrs. I have restarted the feeding by syringe. Thanks for the suggestion.
