So i have four leos, three who eat plenty and one who doesnt. All females, and the smallest and has to be youngest one isnt looking too good. i have her in a separate 10gal tank and have a good supply of mealies, crickets and roaches for her to eat but i havent noticed her eating them. every once in a while she has a tiny poo but nothin too big. i have her on carpet and ill have to check the temps when i get home. She was walking really weird the other day, her front feet were kind of curled up when she was walking and looked to be limping. I didnt drop her or anything so im not sure what it could have been from. any advice would be great, thanks!

I agree that a trip to the vet is a good idea. MBD is also likely. Some geckos don't seem to absorb calcium as well as others and she may not have gotten what she needed because she wasn't eating.

she only walked like that for a couples hours, not all the time
you think she would still be doing it if she had MBD?

As others have said i would defo take her to the vets. I would guess its MBD and she needs help before it gets worse.

I would also suggest using paper towel and see if that helps. With her being so small she might be getting her feet caught on the carpet.
