one of my new blizzards has non-solid poop eats good so far just not the same poop as the other two she is housed with wondering if i should take the three in? or wait till other signs if this is a bad thing?

this is normally a sign of parasites... remove the leo, and quarentine him from the others. clean the cage with a 5% bleach to 95% water mixture, and allow to dry in the sun. then introduce the leos without parasites. you SHOULD take the sick leo to a vet, but if you cant find one, or just dont want too, you can try giving him penacur. remember, if you give them penacur, LUST ONE SMALL LICK FROM YOUR FINGER EACH> hope this helps, and good luck. please keep us updated!

can you give anymore details? Have you changed what she's eating? any weight loss or anything? I was worried about my gecko who was fed crix at the petstore, and then I fed him mealies once he came home with me. I posted awhile back on this, but anyways, after switching its diet, his poop was kinda mushy lookin for a few days, and then they started to look more solid, now he's fine, and gaining TONS of weight..

Questions?Drop me a line

i have given them mealies and they ate those really good once. for the most part they have gotten crickets he hasn't lost any weight(poop mushy for more than a few days) yet and one of them that came kinda small has gained a little. but for the most part it looks like none have gain much weight if any and i've had them for about a 3-4 weeks. i just thought that i would jump on it before anything really bad happened. i cleaned out there cage a yesterday and didn't save the poop so i will have to wait a day anyway to get some poop. i have one piece just not the runny one. two of them seem ok it's the third that has me worried(even though no weight loss) i would rather error on the safe side.

If you got him from a breeder almost all large breeders feed mealworms exclusively, I have never had experience with something like this but this could help gecko fires explanation.
