Hi

I have two female leopard geckos who are almost a few years old. Their tales are really fat and one is pretty chubby since she's really lazy, and the other explores more so she's less chubby. When I feed them worms and large crickets now, they do not eat as much as they used to. Do you not feed older ones as often? Can you leave them a week without food since they have stored fat in their tales?

When they were younger they were $#$#ing pigs, now they don't want food as much.

What a brilliant question. Was gonna ask that myself lol I have a female who is about 1 yr and 3 months old, when she was small she ate like a pig too. Lately she has completely calmed it down and only picks at her mealworms now. I think if i fed her some crix she would eat more. My male is also 2 years old and he doesn't eat as much as when i first got him. So yes i think that when they get older like us humans they just sloooww down lol.
