gecko not eating

[Hbug]

Does anyone know the reciept to the gecko mix that you syringe feed them. My gecko hasn't eatin and I have been syringe feeding her just blended up bugs mixed with her water and vitamens, I have had her for almost 2 months now and she really hasn't gained much weight. I got another gecko the same time and she is big and healthy now at 50g they where 38g when I got them. Also the bigger one who has been gaining weight is younger then the one who wont eat. Does anyone have any advice?

Have any more history? Age of gecko? How long you had her before you started force feeding? Gecko's in same enclosure? Picture to assess health would be nice. I hate to ask it, but what substrate is she on? Has she lost weight?

Force feeding is usually a last resort, as it's very stressful, especially on a gecko that's only been acclimated to it's new environment for a couple months.

You could search on this site for "gecko slurry" or "gecko soup" to find the recipe you're looking for.
