First of all happy fourth of July.

Im writting this post cause I am worried about my adult female Leopard Gecko. Recently I noticed that she has not been eating crickets like she used too. She showed little interest in feeding. So I changed her diet a little and started to feed her meal worms. She doesn't eat as many worms as I want her to eat. Its been about a month and her tail is still plump, her behavior has not changed, and she is still shedding.

I have been reading related post and they all have different explanations of this subject. Whats your opinion?

Thank you for taking time to read my post

I've got the same problem going with my girl for about a month now. I swear the same 3 crickets have been in the tank for 5 days. No changes in temp, lighting or any other behaviors. Drinking normal. Tail's nice and fat. I can't tell if she's eating her calcium power or just stepping in it and smearing it across the tank. Her color is a little duller than usual but I feel like a shed is coming on.

At first I thought it was weather changes. I'm in Boston and we just went from 70's to 90's in 5 days. On the other hand, my boy is a pig as usual. They're housed separately so I know he can't be eating her food.

Beat's me what's causing it, but I'm glad it's not just Mojave acting up.

My adult Leo stopped eating. She doesnt even seem interested in the crickets and mealworms. I began to force feed her. If her condition does not improve I plan to take her to a vet. I have noticed that her color is not bright as it used to be.

Apparantly the previous user that replied to my post is going through the same dilema as me. Do you think this change in her eating habits is due to a seasonal change?

Any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated.
