gecko fattening......

geckoman2000 Mar 16, 2004 02:20 PM

My leopard gecko has lost a considerable of weight. What are some good ways to fatten them up. i already tried wax worms and a pinky and she wouldnt eat either of them. She always ate supers and all the sudden she ownt eat them anymore. she only eats a few crickets a day but it doesnt seem to be fattening her up at all.
