I feel bad....

Okay, so this leo hasn't eaten anything at all, and it has really worried me. And now I was looking at it and it has lost a lot of weight. So my mom is making me take it back and get our money back........

Aww... that sucks... She has enough heat right? How long has it been since you've gotten her?

Wasn't that you who said you got him at Petco? If not, sorry. If you are returning him to Petco, chances are he will sit in the back room, untreated & neglected until he dies, unless they decide to put him in the freezer before that. Petco does not take well to "returned" live merchandise. If I were you or your mom, I would keep the gecko & try to get him as healthy as possible, even take him to the vet if you could. If he dies after that, then bring the dead gecko & the vet bills back to Petco & they will refund your money for both. At least this way you would have tried to save him!

Josh..leos need to to relive stress and become established in their new home my leo "frito" didnt eat until maybe about 2 weeks after i got him give your leo some time and if the pic you posted a while back is the leo you are mentioning she looks healthy and doesnt look like anything is wrong with her being that her tail was fat just goes to show that she has eaten just give her time..id say maybe 4 more days and if you want you can try forcefeeding her but i suggest not because this will just make her stressed again.
