Urgent.. Need Help!!!

MacArthur Jan 06, 2005 03:39 PM

I have had my crested gecko, Bandit for a little over half a year. Slowly, he has been losing weight and now has stopped eating.( i have only noticed it now- I dont know why)Whenever offered crickets he always refused. I have taken him off of his babyfood and he is now (or was) on CGD. I know somethings wrong because I can see his backbone and rib somtimes... I need to get him jumpstarted soon! Hes not real bad but I want to get him back up to a healthy weight... How can i get him to accept crickets? Sorry if I sound like a newbie crested keeper but im really worried about him. Also, last night I tok an eyedropper and took a little CGD and babyfood mix and made him lick it off of himself to eat. Please if anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it! P.S. I have NO money for a vet visit right now.

I can't really think of what could be wrong, is he stargazing(starring up all the time). I have no idea what you could do to get him to eat but you can feed him sweet potatoe and chicken, or some baby food mixed with meet to get him to beef up. I hope I helped.
