I can`t get my male leopard gecko to eat and his tail is down to almost nothing. I took him to the vet and she said he was fine. He was in with to females but they ended up getting bigger than him so i put him in his own cage. He won`t eat crickets or mealworms or anything else. I tried putting him back with the females but he still won`t eat. any suggestions would be appreciated.

Well, that definitly sounds like he is sick...is the vet qualified in reptiles and other exotics??? If not, they may not be able to diagnose a sickness that other specialty vets might see right away. Get a fecal exam done...that should show you what's up. Other than that, you have to check your setup. Write back with a description and possibly a pic of your leos' setups to give us some more hints.

Remember how I was talking to a few of you guys about how the vet was going to charge me about 250-300 bucks to take me two other leos in and they would have to get a entire exam/fecel and so forth. I called him again on Friday, then saturday he called me back (friday was busy I guess), and he told me that I would be able to come in on monday to pick up the medicine but that he needed the proper weight of them to tell me how much to give them. I have a scale here and weight them every other day so I gave it to him so now all I have to do is pick up and pay for the med's on Monday.

Another think. My baby albino "Ally" she still been using the bathroom but only samll amount but still normal color,smell, and has the urates, but she isn't really eating, but yet she weights the same, You think I should be worried?

I don't think you should be worried yet...if she isn't eating much, then she shouldn't be gaining weight. How long has her appetite been down???
Cool that the vet will give you the meds without ripping you off!!!

Ever since we had to put Ziggy down, she hasnt really ate and she barely goes to the restroom. That is why i am worried about her not eating. IS it normal for a 2 month old to be only 5 grams?
