I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with my gecko, if things don't resolve soon I will definitely take her to the vet but I wanted to get some of your opinions.
I have 2 girls, Reggie (6yr) and Wyli (7yr). Reggie has always been nice and plump, even her tail. A couple weeks ago I bought a Cricket food from ++++++++, I only used it twice and it killed a lot of my crickets. A lot of them were dying in the bowl and yesterday when I was cleaning their cage a good half of them were dead (I bought them only a couple days before). When I was cleaning their cage yesterday I noticed Reggie's tail was much thinner, it looks deflated and she has a pot belly. This only happened within a couple days. As soon as I saw that I ran out, returned the food, and bought 50 lg crickets and some meal worms. When I put them in the cage, Wyli was wolfing them down like crazy as usual, Reggie didn't even care, she didn't even stalk. I got her out and soaked her in some warm water in case she's impacted. I don't know if she ever ate yesterday because I was gone for most of the night. I also keep noticing her scratching in her cave which I know is nesting behavior. This morning I saw a runny poop in their cage but it's not quite diarrhea, I've seen a couple here and there over the last week but they've been mostly solid. She's still drinking the same amount and otherwise acts normal. In a jist:
1. Tail is thinner, belly is fat, not eating.
2. nesting behavior
3. runny poop sometimes
4. drinking normally and normal amount of activity
5. otherwise normal
I don't know which gecko has runny poop but I don't think it's wyli, she's acting like she always does.
Sorry if this makes no sense!
