Male on hunger strike...help!?!

Stefaran Aug 23, 2003 12:22 AM

I have a male who was eating good and 60g a couple of weeks ago. Then he I noticed he stopped eating. He is now 52g and I'm getting worried. He usually is a great eater, but now he has no interest in food. His tank is worm enough and he seems happy, he just won't eat.

Any advice is much appreciated!!!!!!

That happened to me twice. One,just after i bought my Gecko. He was not interested in eating because his room temp was too high!Then i put him in another room where the temp is lower (78-84F)and he started eating like a pig!lol!
Second time was a few weeks ago.I saw he was becoming thinner and thinner.Then i checked his worms nursery and i saw there were no more left!He had eaten around 30 worms in less than 1 week! As soon i gave him more worms he started eating again.But now im worried because he is not pooping!
