Hi i have 2 female leopard geckos in the same cage and they have stopped eating.One has lost a bit of weight in the tail but other than that they appear normal.they are kept on large orchid bark chips so i doubt they ate any bark.they were feeding on adult mealworms there whole life but now they havent ate in 5 days.i think i should see i herp vet but i thought ide ask for your opinion first.thanks for any replies,im very concerned.

I really would not reccomend keeping them on the wood chips, just my opinion but I don't think they are safe for geckos of any age. My friend kept hers on them and they both died. I keep mine on paper towels, and I have my adults on sand. Sand can be dangerous as well, impaction problems and such. Mine have been on sand since they were babies, and I saw no use in changing it when I got them from their previous owner. My best advise, is too keep them on papertowel. I am sorry I can't help with the feeding issue, hopefully someone else can.

You might want to try to seperate them, one of mine was pretty skinny. Once I got her into another tank she started gaining weight. Just a thought.
