I was at my freinds house, who breeds herps, takeing apart one of his racks he sold to me, when near the end on takeing it apart I spotted a young carrottail. I showed hime to my freind and he said I could keep him since he was skinny and must have gotten out a while ago. Well anyways, I took him/her home and setup a rubbermaid shoe box for em'. Since then I added three appropriate sized crix for the leo to eat and it doesn't seem interested at all. What should I do, should I wait a while? I really don't want to lose this one it would be a $100 carrottail with about 45% carrottail.

Hi

I would take two to three days using a syring and fill it with pedialyte and work on rehydrating the gecko at first, because it probably has gotten so used to not eating and this way would make it easier on the gecko's stomach at first. Then slowly start to feed it a mixture of chicken baby food, pedialyte and a little calcium mixed in, it would be one of the easiest things on it's stomach for a start. Do it with a syring. When it starts gain it's strength back after several day's, then try and see if it will take a mealworm or cricket.

Take Care, TLB
