A gecko may still eat if it has worms. What makes you concerned that your gecko may have worms?

i bought it skinny because it was cheap (i know that was a bad idea but the people didnt know how to take care of it) it ate plenty for the first 2 or 3 weeks but it only gained about 6 grams and then it just stopped eating for about a week and yesterday it ate 10 mealworms again.

A sign of worms is that the gecko will eat a lot but not gain much weight because the worms are sucking up all the nutrients.
