I purchased a male African fat tail gecko 4 days ago he was healthy didnt have any signs of a health problem he had lost his tail but it grew back, i put some mealworms in a bowl and he didnt touch them for 3 days i also gave him some crickets i thought he ate them until i cleaned his cage then found 10 of them which i put in over the past 3 days, i then purchased a female yeterday given too me i introduced them together and they got on really well always sleeping together but i noticed she hasnt eaten for a day, they are both healthy a little slim but not were you can see there ribs can someone give me some advice please?????

They may take a little more time to adjust to a new home. leave mealies in there 24/7 and be sure temps and humidity are correct.

First, sometimes it takes a few days for them to settle in before eating. Just keep an eye on them.

Second, I have to yell at you. You obviously got two fat-tails from two different sources. They should have been quarentined away from each other to make sure both were healthy before introducing them. Appearances can be deceiving, it sometimes takes a few weeks for an illness to become apparent. It's too late now but in the future, you must quarentine. I can't tell you how many horror stories I have heard from people who didn't quarentine and had whole collections die off. Call me paranoid but quarentine has saved my butt (and my other animals) more than once.

Its ok now i caught both of them eating it was sooooooooo cute just like a cat i love the way they hunt........ Thanks for the advice
