My girl is not eating.

crbrlb May 16, 2009 01:19 PM

I have a female gecko who is an older lizard. We had some shedding issues and I finally got her to shed all but a little around her face. I am still worried her tail is real skinny. She has fresh crickets and hasn't eat any of them. We have always fed her live crickets and mealworms, although crickets have always been her preference. Any advice as to what I can do to help my girl.

What do you feed to the crickets?
What supplements do you dust with?

I'm not sure the pet store we purchases them at calcium feed the crickets and dust them when we buy them.

What are you using for a substrate? Is the gecko pooping?
Does it lift its body off the ground when it walks? Does it have any deformities?

It would be good to know what the store is feeding it and using for supplements.
