Eating Problems

ZeroX Jul 13, 2004 10:53 AM

My leopard gecko, Xeero, usually eats about eight to nine mealworms a day. Lately, he's only been eating four to two. What do you think is wrong with him?

Check him out for parasites
get a fecal done.

Also make sure your heat pads are working whatever you're using make sure its warm enough, i had that problem once

Thanks! ^_^

I checked the temperature - it's like 82. Is that bad? I might have to get a lamp then, because I already have an UTH. Also my humidity is 50. Are those bad?

Those sound fine, Also if he's eating you shouldn't be too worried

if he starts losing weight then worry. And for SURE do the fecal
Also try switching insects. maybe he's bored
