Feeding issue

FatesDragon · Sep 28, 2007

I got 2 baby leopard geckos 4 days ago, I am currently housing both together. One of them Rain ate the first night i got them despite the fact i had been told they wouldn't eat. Rain has contunes to eat and eat very well. But the other one Freya I havent seen any signs of her eating. Should i take her out and put her in a carry and feed her separate from Rain or should i wait a few more days? Or should i even try a different food from the small crickets.

I'd take her out & house her separately. The other one may be stressing her out in addition to the stress of a new environment. Lots of us here have had leos not eat after getting them home. Some for a few weeks. It's nerve wracking, but there's almost always a good ending.

Your best bet would be to get another tank or go to staples and get one of their 10 or 12 or 15 gallon clear plastic containers with the lid, drill or sauder some holes in the sides for air, then sanatize it and use that for a home if you cant get a tank.

All newly acquired geckos should be quarantined separately for a minimum of 60 days, even if you got them from the same place. I agree with the statements that new geckos sometimes need more time to settle in to their new environments before they will eat. Also, individual geckos can be less assertive than others when housed together, and this can cause them to be intimidated during feedings.
