emergency! please help! gecko not eating

greenballoon Oct 07, 2003 05:28 PM

i have had a baby leopard gecko for about a month and a half now. after awhile i realized that there were no signs that she was eating. i tried both mealworms and crickets and then resorted to baby food. she was surviving off of that but she hasnt grown at all since i got her. her tail and body got thinner. Today she is extremely lethargic, everytime she takes a step she falls asleep. I tried feeding her many times and she wont lick the food. I put it on her mouth... but she never opens her mouth to eat it. i am afraid she is going to die and i need some advice on what to do for her.
please respond. i am desperate...
thank you

You HAVE to take a pet like that to the vet! You really should've have waited this long, but it's never to late to try, so I recommend you start calling up vets!
