i got 2 leo females yesterday they are both 6-7 the smaller one of the 2 is not the one i have ques about she eats and comes out of the hide sometimes. the bigger one though i tried to feed but wont eat and is never out of the hide. i dont think shes getting warm enough in there and i beleive its been 3 or 4 days since shes eaten since they didnt feed before shipping

thanx for the help

give the animals time to acclimate, sometimes especially adult leo's it may take a few days before acclimating. just because one is and one isnt doesnt mean anything is wrong. they are two different leos with two different personalities... you just got them yesterday, leave them alone and let them settle in.
again, why dont you email geeboo, instead of publicly picking at what might be wrong, when im sure its just a matter of settling in. it seems rather rude to me. communicate with HIM he may possibly be able to give you the best advise of geckos which were once his.
like i said adult leos may take time to acclimate. lack of eating when you first get them is not odd, and neither is shyness. let them settle in before jumping to conclusion about what might be wrong with them, do not worry about them unless significant weightloss is present or odd stools are present

they only rude is you Ro13in, she just made a Q. When someone gets geckos in, we get nervous if they eat or not even though we know is not rare if they dont. Dont ridicule people on the forum

I agree with robin.

These threads do not belong here. Postings regarding transactions with breeders are against the TOS of this site and clearly that's what this is.

i really dont know anything about the TOS but it is definately inapropriate, contact the seller, the way this person is repsonding is rude and disrepectful towards geeboo. i understand concerns but "calling one out" so to speak on a public forum is just wrong and thats how it seems to be. It may be very innocent but the way this person has gone about this is all wrong. give the animals time to settle in, this persons actions could make geeboo look bad in others eyes, those wo do not know him, and this innocent post could cause more harm than good for no reason what so ever than the fact the animals need time to acclimate. private corrospondance at this time would be the best. its gfives both parties the means of comunicating to one another to solve any issues the buyer might have, it seems the other person is jumping the gun

Andy,
They ate real good Saturday. Like 4 superworms and some crix each. I only fed them every other day or so after they fattened back up from laying. Sometimes they don't always eat alot. Have they gone to the bathroom? Sounds like they got shook up pretty good from shipping. Keep an eye out I am not sure but she may pop and egg or two. I had there other cagemate just lay 2 yesterday and they all quit a month and a half ago. If that was not a big surprise. She never ate well when laying. Other than that give them a couple days to settle in. They alot of times stayed on the cool side of the tank too. I gaurantee nothing is wrong with them physically to make them not eat. Unless laying they were the best eating leos I have ever had. Leos live 18 to 20 years easy with proper care they are in there prime. Don't worry just give her a couple of days to adjust . They will put themselves where they need to be hot ot cold. Oh, I don't know which one laid the blizz egg for sure. Actually I was not expecting it being they were possible hets and never did so the first 2 years?? All babies born with a male blizz will be 100% het though.
