Shari:

The first week or so in a new home, a gecko is often reluctant to eat. If the gecko has parasites it will often have a poor appetite. Most golden geckos (Gekko ulivoskii) are wild caught and usually have parasites. He need to have a fecal check by a veterinarian.

To find care about these guys, pick up Sean McKeown's manual, Care and Maintenance of Tokay Geckos and related Species.

Care is similar to tokays. Sorry I don't have time to go into details but I hope that is a good start.
