When I was feeding my new breeding trio that I got I found blood splatters on the top of a hide and on the wall I think its from the male because hes not eating. Any ideas of whats wrong.

Thanks for the help,
Jacob

Not sure anyone can tell you what's wrong without seeing them. If they were my geckos I would check every micro-inch of them from head to tail for cuts or scratches. I'd much rather it be an external issue than an internal one. If I didn't find any cuts I'd be worried. I would also immediately separate them so I could determine which gecko was hurt and take it to the vet if it happened again.

If the trio is breeding, sometimes the males will 'hemo-ejaculate'... where blood comes out of their hemipenis instead of sperm. Iagree they should be separated and a vet consulted. If it is hemoejaculation, it is usually not a serious problem and will remedy itself. Better safe than sorry.
