Well I have two thoughts. First of course is what temp do you have the little guys at? Secondly were they recently treated with a dewormer of some sort. Sometimes after deworming the beneficial flora inside the intestinal track take a beating. Finally try slightly smaller prey items.

there temps are fine. they just got there last drop this week of dewormer. i was going to try some smaller prey. this one took it the hardest from the worms he was the sickest.

85-75 at night 90-77 during the day i use a ir thermometer and thermostat. thanks for the advice hopefully smaller will work! because he is or i mean she is goin after food like a normal gexo. thanks again

yeah my temps are good i've read the leopard gecko manual and bought my setups from Brian Viets. which i just now put two and two together and realized who he was lol. all my babys hang out on the warm side right on top of my UTH(which is on a thermostat so they don't get burned). if they start to hang out on the cool side tons more then i would think about turning the UTH down but as of now they like it.
