Hello. I am really starting to wonder if our leopard gecko is going blind. We noticed a while back, several months ago, that he couldn't catch crickets. Even when we'd pull the back legs off, he'd still miss them. We switched to meal worms and occasionally wax worms since they were easier for him to catch. But now, it is to the point, that he doesn't even see them right in front of him! I try to point him down to them, tried putting them on various places to make them more noticeable. And still, once he sees them, it still takes him a couple tried before he actually gets it in his mouth. So, he doesn't seem to be eating as well as he used to, but I figured that maybe it was because he is going on a year old now and they slow down since they're not growing as much. My husband is the one who usually feeds him, so I hadn't been paying a whole lot of attention, but he is out of town this week and I've been feeding him, so am getting concerned!
Thanks for any help/advice!
