Gecko on a diet ?

mizar 21 Jun 18, 2004 09:58 PM

From what i read on the forum is not uncommon that gecko stop eating for some time. Mine shed a few day ago and havent eat much yet. He still poop every day. How long before worriyng ? I guess that he is just isnt hungry. Is it possible that they have some kind of cyclic eating habit ? Like eating like a pig for a while then slowing down ? Any comment ?

I had my 5 year old male gone two months without eating anything.
(all he cared about was breeding with the female i got him at the time)
I would keep in eye on it, but not stress over it.
