My albino leopard gecko is not eating

[Niko]

:main_huh: Im starting to think she is blind or sick. I've tried force feeding her and she spits the meal worm right out. Her tail is dramtically decreasing in size. Can anyone help me A.S.A.P . Thanks.

I'd get her to a vet. Not eating for a while is relatively normal from time to time but in normal hunger strikes there is little (less than 5% body weight) weight loss. Once you visually see the tail decreasing in size that's a bad sign. The longer you leave her the less of a reserve she has to fight with. The symptoms you describe sound like they may be caused by a parasite problem. A qualified vet can help you figure out what's really going on. Bring a fresh stool sample if you can.

Good luck and keep us posted

Albinos sometimes seem blind. Theyre very sensitive to light. I find it helpful to feed mine in the dark.
Hand feeding can cause more stress leading to less eating.
I agree a vet visit is in store. Dont handle her unless absolutely necessary
