Hello! This is our Leo! He all of a sudden stopped eating 4 weeks ago and has not had a meal since!! He has shed within that time and ate his skin but still refuses to even look at a single meal worm. I am at a complete loss after trying lots of different things and just want to see if anyone has an idea of the cause or how we can help! Temps range between 75-90, cleaned regularly, still drinks lots of water, still pooing normally and regularly although these are very small now due to the lack of food! He hasn’t seemed to have lost much weight although his tail is starting to look a tiny bit thinner than usual.

Some of them stop eating for awhile and then start up again. Some of them get bored with mealworms, which don't move much. You could try super worms or crickets and see if that gets a different response. Otherwise, unless he is visibly losing weight (tail), just keep offering and be patient. Most of my geckos aren't very hungry right now, but they'll be tearing up the cage looking for crickets etc. in August.
