Golden Gecko Not Eating

fieldslj Sep 08, 2003 10:10 PM

I have a golden gecko that I have had for about 6 months. Suddenly, he stopped eating. I've tried baby food, mashed bananas, crickets, etc. all of which he ate on a regular basis before this fast. He did recently shed, within the last few days, but he hasn't been eating for more than a week and has continued to not eat since he finished shedding. He is having bowel movements, though. Please someone help! I really want to make sure he's okay!

If he's still being himself, active, isn't losing weight, etc. I wouldn't worry too much. My Goldens will start to slow down with eating around this time of year because of the shorter days, cooler temps. They will sometimes eat little or nothing for weeks over the winter.
