Gecko didn't digest food or regurgitated it

tim5580 Oct 04, 2004 12:29 PM

When I looked in my gecko's cage this morning, there is a little pile of waxworm and mealworm that looked like he pooped them out, but they aren't digested at all. They are all rolled like a tird, but look like they didn't even go through the gecko. He ate a waxworm, 4 mealworms, and 2 crickets last night and he is only 5.5" - 6" long, so maybe I fed him too much? He just kept on munching them down so I kept offering it to him because he looked hungry and he is growing, but he usually eats 2 mealies and a 2 crickets and sometimes also a waxworm. Temps, hides, and that are OK like usual.

I am worried. He was acting normal when I fed him too. I thought he might have been really hungry so thats why I gave him so much.

I had mine do that, smell the pile and make sure it smells like gecko poop, he might of just barfed it. if he did barf/poop it make sure he drinks some water, my gecko got dehydrated after what you described

OK, I'll do that. I am going to clean his cage today and I'll make him drink some water.
