Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I have a 24X24X18 Exo-Terra viv with hides and plants. The G.V. is the only thing in there. He has been in for about 3 weeks now. I have introduced crickets, tried mealworms and even baby food. He doesnt seem to eat anything. I thought he had been eating the crickets but I found them hiding in the top corner of the viv. Is there anything else I can offer him to eat? I have Anoles in another tank and they eat crickets as fast as I put them into the tank. The Gecko doesnt seem to be hungry. He seems pretty healthy and gets plenty of water. I have a bowl plus I mist the tank twice daily. The temp is around 80 and the humidity is between 70 and 80.

Is there anything else I can be doing?

Does he have a temperature gradient with a good basking spot? This is pretty key with most geckos. Also, have there been crickets in his viv this entire time? This can cause major stress on your animal if he is not eating for other reasons (such as temperature). Give him a basking spot, leave him alone for a couple days and then try feeding again.
