How old till they eat

[geckogirl3]

My gecko is more than a week old and has shed twice. She has a fat tail and body, but still won't eat. Should I be worried, or am I being over protective since her sister died?

 

[geckogirl3]

also, are small mealworms ok for her or should i get something else?

I know this is childish, but someone PLEASE tell me!!!

Get it some small crickets to start off with. This is what I had to do with my newly hatched geckos to get the feedings started. Once they start eating them good, try switching to mealies

I think small meal worms is just fine for you baby geckos. After mine had their first shed about a day later they started eating small meal worms about 10 a day for about the first month, at least mine did. That's probably why they are so big at only a few months old.
