Too Skinny?

KashMoneyExotics · Apr 7, 2014

This is my male bold strip he hasn't eaten since I gotten him, which was a little over a month ago. I greeting really concerned. I always offer food he looks at it then turns the other way. On a good note he did she's and ate about 90% of it. So I guess that's good. I'm concerned because he's losing weight. Could it be because of breeding season?

Anyway here's a picture of him just wanted to know if he looks to skinny

Id say he is slightly on the slim side but hes not dangerously skinny.
have you tried offering a mixture of different feeders? could be hes gone off the one your offering?
you could try making a slurry to feed to him, might kick start his appetite and get him eating again.
also have you seen a vet yet? might be worth having a parasite test don.

It definitely could be from the breeding season. If you provide some info about your setup and feeding routines you may get better answers: http://geckoforums.net/f130-health-medications/70912.htm

Most of my geckos eat meal worms but 2 will not touch them so I tried other foods until I found what they prefer which turned out being crickets. U can also try wax worm but they r very fatty so u don't want to only feed it that.
