Why wont she eat?

Paullywog Sep 12, 2004 01:59 PM

Hi. I have a female leopard gecko and lately she hasn't eaten hardly anything. She eats maybe 1 cricket or 2 mealworms every other or third day and poos only like every other night. I dont understand. She's not on sand, she's on four paws terrarium lining and ive had her for about 3 years now. She also has a mealworm dish and a calcium dish. The cool side of the tank is about 68-73 and the warm side around 85-90. If you've got an idea whats wrong i would like to hear from you. Thanks!

If she is not loosing weight I really wouldn't worry about. If she is maintaining her weight then her consumption is just right for her metabolic rate. If she's loosing on the other hand its time for fecal.
