geckos not eating...

[GeckoLuke]

Is this normal? I got my 2 leopard geckos yesterday, and so far they wont eat. they are around 4-5 inches and plump tails.. The lady that works at the store gave free crickets for now, and said to feed them when they get home. they arent eating though. I have tried feeding them in their tank, in a container, and hand feeding. nothing. is this normal for a new gecko? its been 2 days... Help please.

It can take a few days to a week for leos to settle in and start eating. Give them 2 weeks, then worry.

Should I go out and get them meal worms? they show no interest in the crickets.. Im beginning to worry about them.

GeckoLuke do not worry about your gecko's dude. They will eat when they have/want to. Currently there are a few recent topics on 'not feeding' atm so have a look at those. My male gecko Roger hasnt eatin for 4 weeks! so dont get worked up over 2 days!

It's turning into winter. Geckos eat less when it's chilly.

Ok thanks. I went out and got 50 meal worms for the girls. I'll just play it day by day.

thanks guys!
Luke.
