I was told about a leopard gecko in harsh conditions. What I was told is that it is kept on carpet, fed only mealworms, and not sure if it's heated. Also they said it was "blind" because it shed wrong, anyone know anything about that?... Any suggestions about what I need to do. I only have a bearded dragon. So please suggestions to the steps I should take

if its eyes are shut and look infected, he/she needs to go to a vet. if it seems like there is some stuck shed on the eyes, but it can still open them, you can use a moistened q-tip to lightly wet the stuck shed and it should just peel right off. is it eating?

They said it isn't really eating, I planned on taking some baby food and insert into syringe, and feed it that way.

If you decide to syringe feed it liquid food, please don't force the tube into its mouth, it'll be very stressful for the gecko. You can just put drops on its lips and wait for it to lick.

I have a girl that in rehab that so far can't see but she had no problems licking gecko soup from her nose. When she got to licking good, I put the spoon to her mouth and she licked from it. Now she is tong fed superworms.
