She still wont eat, what should i do?

UroJade May 27, 2005 08:54 PM

My dune gecko still wont eat i got silkworms to see if something wiggly would tempt her but she just ignores them,she seems afraid of crickets and she's to afraid of me for me to hand feed liek i do for my male thats afraid of crickets, she apeared to be in good heath when she arrived but she's starting to lok skinny now, can such a small lizard be force fed if she doesnt eat or will i have to just keep trying to tempt her with different foods?
btw the other female that came at the same time is doing well and ate from day one

All you can do now is take her to a vet. There is no way for us to figure out why she's acting that way. A vet can also show you how to safely force feed her if it's necessary.
