Having some girls not eating? I only have a few girls that don't want to eat... just girls. All of my males are fine, but I have a select few girls that just refuse to eat. They go after the prey... look at it... then walk away. I have even tried waxies, and they turn their noses up at those too. What is weird is that I have a 10 month old (gecko) that was eating fine up until about 2 weeks ago and now she won't eat anything. For precaution I separated her... anyone else have this?

Most of my adults are not really that hungry yet. Some of the females will take 1 or 2 superworms and that's it. I have 3 geckos on antibiotics at the moment (RI and mouth infections) who are all healing, but not hungry. The males have only one thing on their minds and it's not food. I'm offering food every 3 days and am hand feeding those who will tolerate it just so they get something in them. Most of them are still at good weights, though.

My girl has stopped eating the last few days too. The only thing she'll go after is wax worms. Everything else she'll go to attack, lick it, then walk away.

Hmmm, it worries me because I figured if they would have done their brumation it would have started a while back... not when the warm weather is about to start up (here it is anyways).

I have 2 that aren't eating and the other one has slowed down. Most of my males are eating just fine though.
