I wouldn't reccomend it, the male is a little to small and may get intimidated into not eating. That and how old is the male because he may be sexually mature and the female is a little to small to be laying eggs.

Males can hit sexual maturity around 8 months of age so you may want to be careful.

[bleep] I didn't even look at the age to weight ratio. Those are some really tiny geckos.

i want to put them together. The 30 gram i have had for about 3 months and im assuming its over a year but i know it is under weight. The 30 gram is with a 8 month that is 40grams and a 9 month that is 36 and i think they are eating all the food.she always stays in the humid hide and i hardely see her come out while the other two are out all the time

Ok I'd seperate the 30 gram and feed her on her own and leave the little guy on his own as well. It sounds like the 30gram is being bullied and is intimidated. How large is her enclosure with the other geckos?

Ok it sounds like the enclosure may be a little small for 3. If I understand correctly is a 30 inch long 10 inch wide enclosure is that right?
Either way your going to want to keep her seperate until she starts eating well. I had the same problem with one of my females, she's still smaller than most leo's her age but I think it's genetic. I had her housed on her own for almost 6 months making sure she ate well. When I decided to move her back she kept gaining weight and eating well. She may just need a helping push towards gaining some weight.
