Ok now please no arguing lol i really need help as i do appreciate all of you guys help! but now this is very serious....I know leos are usually scared when they are in a new habitat but we basically got this leo for free and he looked so skinny so we're basically trying to nurse him back....he wont eat at all...i dont think he has impaction or if theres anything major wrong with him because this lil guy likes to bite(and hang on) and run like a crazy man and he lovessssss to jump to damn near the top of his tank! so i highly doubt anything is wrong internally but he just wont eat or drink water and its making me nervous...i dont wanna send him back to petco but i cant stand to see it die it would crush us....we nursed 3 other leos back to health from deadly petco but this one is just starting off horrible.....any suggestions?

and again

Geckos can't digest their food without belly heat. If your ordered UTH only comes on Wednesday, get some hand warmers in the meantime and put them under your glass tank. For a few hours, they'll give him belly heat, and then you can exchange them. I always use them during power failures. Just make sure they're not inside his cage and he's not sitting directly over them without substrate, because baby geckos can die from too much heat coming from a single hand warmer!!

Hand warmers look like this (you can get them in stores when there's no time to order them on eBay).

I wouldnt say start him on slurry yet, If he eats then it shouldnt be needed, i would try smaller mealies and small as it gets crickets. If he refuses to eat then the slurry will help.
