OK my gecko use to eat like 5-7 supers a day about 4 days ago he went to 2 supers and last night and tonight he hasnt ate anything. is it normal for them to stop right at the beginning? Any suggestions on how to get him back eating?

How long have you had him, you are pretty far south for an early brumation be to setting in.

Make sure your high temps are 90-92, lows should be the room temps.

Some geckos brumate themselves in fall and winter even if you keep the hot side hot all winter (some not all, a few) but you are still pretty far south for that to be going on right now IMO

What substrate do you have?

Also supers provide more food mass, if he is an adult he would only need or desire to eat every 2 days so if he was eating 5-7 a night he may just be taking a break for a few days.

i think your right he ate 3-4 last night so i guess he's back on track.

Depending on age 5-7 supers a day is a lot.. he was probably just full..
