sick gecko

lillian May 25, 2003 09:39 AM

I have a 4 year old leopard gecko that has stopped eating. It won't eat crickets or mealworms. Her last stool was green and yellow, not the usual brown and white. Should I be concerned or do geckos go through these phases?

As in any case, check to see if your have the right temps, enough hides, and fresh water available. If your setup is fine, then watch to see what her next poop is like. Every now and then a leo may get a tummy ache but it will soon pass. If the next poop is looking bad as well, and the leo is still not eating, call a vet. With reptiles, even something like a cold can turn serious. Good luck!

Thanks for the advice. I will wait a week or so and see if she comes around.
