Quit eating

baseballsls Nov 23, 2005 07:19 PM

I recently bought two geckos. They are only 4-6 months old and they ate very well when I got them. About a week ago they started to cut back and eventually stop eating. Im leaving the light on for about 10-12 hours so they dont go into winter mode. Does anyone have an idea of why they stopped eating?

Substrate is calcisand. I have an undertank heater and heat lamp. The food is crickets but im trying to get them to eat meal worms. The tank size is a long 30 gal.

I feel really sry to tell you this but yur geckos have probably got a blocked stomach and will die soon. I would take it ASAP to the vet.

GOOD LUCK
