I have 2 geckos that won't eat one of them sheered the night before last night. Not only that one of them is not active. The albino we have to open her mouth and she will take the food. My husband and I worried about them. They have heat in the day and then we have a violent light at night. I am afraid that if I turn off the heat night that they will get cold. All of there tails are good size not like a toothpick tail. We don't know what to do? Can any of you help me out.

What kind of heat are they getting during the day, under tank heater or heat lights?
Remember that leopard geckos are nocturnal and may be most active at night. Ideally they need the under tank heater (with a thermostat) to keep one side of the cage in the low 90's (floor temp, not air temp). If your geckos aren't losing weight (meaning that their tails are not getting smaller), even if they're not eating it's OK. A lot of geckos don't eat much during the winter, including about half of mine.
