I have a question. I have had my leopard gecko for almost a year. She has been keeping steady 54 grams. I weighed her the other day and she is 52 grams. She recently shed and has become picky about what she will eat. She gave up on crickets when we moved to Michigan in Sept. We have been trying to feed her mealworms but she will only eat one here and there. We have her on paper towels and seems to be going to the bathroom like normal. Tonight we are going to try to feed her some waxworms. Any advice would be great. Thanks.

Certainly, 2 grams is nothing to worry about at this point..... Sometimes during the cooler months of the year leos can go off feed and loose a couple of grams.... Its no big deal yet.... Just keep your leo warm and hydrated.... You leo may snap out of this soon enough..... Feed it whatever it will eat..... If you can, just give us a backroung on how you are keeping your leo.... What are the temps, hides, substrate, and stuff like that....

We keep our leopard gecko in a 20 gallon long, she is on paper towels right now because we havent decided what to put her on. She has two hides right now one on the hot side which in the daytime is about 85-90 and the cool side is about 75ish. And in her cool side is a water dish that I change every day. Once a month right before she sheds we put a moist hide in addition to her other hides. She usually spends a lot of time on her hammock but since her last shed she has been spending a lot of time just hanging around near her hot side hide. Tomorrow we are buying her some wax worms to see if she will eat them. Thanks for the help. I am going to weigh her on Sunday again.
