Ok, so I've had my gecko for a couple of weeks now... and I have some questions.
Her body got real cloudy last week and now she's back to her clear normal color... has she shed? I don't see any evidence of shed in her tank, but I know they sometimes eat it. Just wondering if that's a clear indication she's gone through her shedding process in secrecy.
She does not seem to have the appetite I expected. I've read they eat 10-12 mealies every other day. The guy who owned her previously fed her 6-7 crickets every other day. She only ate 2 (injured) crickets for me and seems to have no desire to hunt them at all... and I'm lucky if she eats 3-7 mealies every other day. When she does eat, she really hesitates. She will touch them with her nose a few times before actually eating them. It's almost like she can't judge the distance or can't see them well at all.
Should I be worried she's not eating much or having trouble seeing them?
I had a little more luck last night using tweezers and holding them for her, is this normal?
