Hi! I'm new to keeping leopard geckos and I was wondering if my set-up is ok

Here's a picture:

What is that...thing...in the corner? Did your gecko's make a poo sculpture? And those guys seem a bit on the skinny side. Are they new? If not I would check for parasites.

Thanks for the advice guys! I'll add another hide box then :)

I don't know what it is.. I guess it's a pig figurine I found around the house. Haha! I thought it would make a great shedding aid (for the leos to rub their shedding skin on).

Yeah, they are skinny!!! Just got them a week ago from a pet shop. I live in the Philippines so leo geckos are a bit uncommon, and some people don't know how to feed them well. I'm trying to fatten them up, but we don't have wax worms here and they're really aggressive towards me. I'm having a hard time feeding them since they either run away or hide.

The one on the left isnt too skinny, shes got a nice fat tail! I would just give them a little time to settle in and not mess with them too much. Soon they shouldstart eating mealworms and fatning up. But if the poop looks bad, and they will not eat, or gain no weight when they eat I would have a fecal done.

I keep their calcium in a separate dish from the mealies. I put a very small pinch of gutload & a piece of potato or carrot in with the mealies to make sure that they're still "loaded" even if they don't get eaten for a few days.

But hey, they've got Calvin & Hobbs to read, so all is good!

They poo regularly and the poo's dark and moist (not wet). But I noticed that the poo sometimes stink.. is that normal? I have another tub with a leo with poo that doesn't stink.

Thanks again for input

The one isnt too bad, the other is skinny. Just give them a few crickets and keep the mealies in there. They will both fatten up in no time. Make sure its 2 females or 1 male 1 female not 2 males.
