Hey guys, I have a juvenile gecko that I recently rehoused. He/she is around 20 grams and was born in May of this year. It has been over 2 weeks since the rehouse, and the gecko will not eat anything! I've tried crickets, worms, and I regularly offer calcium. What can I do? Can I/do I need to force feed? He is becoming thinner by the day, still with a slightly chubby tail, but I'm getting concerned. Thanks!

Make sure the heat is adequate. Hold the gecko gently and poke a mealworm or other feeder at the mouth to see if it will bite it and eat it. If it's really visibly losing weight in the tail, consider a vet visit.
