Hello.

This is an image of a neglected Leopard Gecko I purchased from my local +++++ location. For a mere 15 USDs and payed with cash, this Gecko is simply treated as any merchandise as proved in the photo.
I already have two Leopard Geckos living with me. Out of the goodness of my heart, I decided to get another one. I already knew my local +++++ had neglected their Leopard Geckos. In February of this year, I documented a conversation between the +++++ employees and me concerning the health of the neglected geckos. I went back today to save one from +++++'s abuse. However, the challenge is still not over yet.
The Leopard Gecko seems to be malnourished extremely. The tail is thinner than a pencil. At the store, this one was grouped with nine other Geckos, leading me to infer that this one was bullied from not eating (even though they had a dish full of mealworms). I've already got her up in a basic set up. I placed some chopped up mealworm bits for her to eat. I suspect she is not eating simply because of the environment change which is understandable.
I REALLY fear that if she doesn't eat this week and next week, she might die. I am ready to take her to a vet this week to get a check-up. Also, I'm placing an order for a feeding syringe so that if it comes down to not eating, I will force-feed her to hopefully save her life.
If any of you reading this have any helpful tips to bring her back up to health, that would be MUCH appreciated. Thank you.
