Gecko not eating!!!!!!!!!!!!

[joshz]

I am new in hobby, I always have hard time feeding my leos. They just never touche their mealworm and when I try to feed them cricket by tweezer, they just dont bother. I felt so depress! what can I do? they are getting thinner.

can you please specify the enclosure, temps, age and sex? is it pooping well? whats the substrate? do you use supplements? how long have u been with it?

Btw this isn't the right section.

i learned that if you want a fast helpful reply the best way is to post in the right category...

I'm having very similar problems and have resorted to force feeding.

Why not dust the crickets in calcium and throw them in there alive and let them hunt? It's their natural instinct. Any animal that won't eat when it's hungry is sick, or lacking proper care.

Assuming their habitat is set up correctly, they will eventually eat. Don't shove the food in their face though, just drop the worms and crickets near them so they can hunt them. If the gecko starts becoming deadly skinny get some carnivore diet formula and feed him that for the time being.

they need heat, (88-95F, big debates on that),
food that is dusted with calcium,
a bowl of calcium in their aquariums,
humid hide, cool hide, hot hide.
water dish food dish calcium dish.

each should be in separate homes.

repta aid if they dont start eating, and jumpstart. both can be found in most chain pet stores.
