[martinez2828]

i got a baby leopard gecko about a week ago she is very small and a couple a days ago i had a family emergency and i had to travel out of state meanwhile my friend was taking care of her i told him everything to do but..... i guess he was not listening too well so after i got back 2 days later he told me she at 7 crickets and that is alot more than she usally eats i could see all the food in her stomuch and she looked very full but since then she has not pooped but she is spending all day under the hot hide i guess she is slowly digesting it is this ok? will she be alright? is there anything i can do to help her speed up the digestion ?? please answer im worried :main_huh:

7 crickets doesnt sound like too much for a growing gecko.
I would keep a close eye on her, incase she is impacted.
If she ate too much, she may vomit.

I don't think she can be impacted she us on paper towels and the breeder I got her from had her on paper towels also I think she is digesting she doesn't like a full anymore she will probaly poop it out tonight

Eating too many crickets can cause impaction, very rarely though.
I saw a hatchling become impacted from eating a giant butter worm.
