What do u think the deal is?

Open to all and any ideas plz.

Shes eating well.

that's how I fattened mine up wen I brought them home from the store.

Maybe I was looking at wrong worms. Ok Ill try that, How many and how long u think?

This may not be the total right way(some people don't like to feed them lots of worms because they do need protien from crickets), but this is how I did it....I put out a dish of wax worms and kept it full for a couple of days(I also kept the cage with plenty of crickets--baby crickets if your gecko is small). In this way they get both fattening up, and protein. Then I decreased the amount of wax worms as they fattened up a bit. Wax worms look like this...

There may be larger ones in there when you buy them but I just picked out the smaller ones. However, I did hear with wax worms, since their insides are so mushy the lizards can eat larger wax worms than they would normally be able to(Although I'm not saying to try to give them huge worms as a general rule). Lemme know if you have any more questions.

The problem with that method is that waxworms are like gecko drugs...lol They get addicted and will start refusing all else if they think they are going to get them regularly. I think most would recommend feeding them no more often than 2 or 3 of them every 2-3 weeks.

-ignorance is not to be punished when one is trying to gain knowledge...what scares me is the vast number of people who, when given the information to gain knowledge, choose to ignore it.

is its eating well then its fine its tail will start to fatten up as long as you give it 9-10 crickets at a time.

Waxworms arent very nutrious ethier...crickets are better for them....I give mine a one or two every week or so...And I cut them in half if they are to big for her....they still wiggle for a bit after that so they will eat them lol.
