I realize that al geckos are different and will gain weight at different rates but I thought would ask for some opinions on Lizzie's weight gain so far. We got Lizzie on October 22, in al the excitement of bringing her home we forgot o weigh her that day. We weighed her on October 26 and she weighed 27g. We have been weighing her periodically and today she is up tp 39g. We got her from Pets Unlimited so we have no idea how old she is....I would guess 4-6 months though. No issues, loves mealies and crickets....I'm just curious if she is gaining weight well enough, I stress over her like one of my kids now!!

Mine about the same size seem to be gaining about 2-3g a week which sounds about the same as yours. I cut mine back to feeding 10-15 mealworms every 2-3 days once they hit 25g and they're still gaining weight steadily.
