Hello all,
I know there are a ton of threads and numerous answers for an inquiry about a gecko who doesn't eat, but I've tried many, and am getting increasingly concerned.
About a week ago, I left for vacation, and no one nearby was able to feed my Boog for me, so I brought him over to my boyfriend's house for the week. I'd fed him around 15 mealies before I left, and the first day he was to be fed, he ate about 5. However, he started rejecting his food after that, and even after I've brought him home, he hasn't eaten since, and I am getting extremely worried.
I've left some mealies in his tank overnight for a few night, none of which he even touched. I also tried to feed him a silk worm, as well as a super worm, neither of which he went for. He seemed interested in the silk worm, licking it many times, but ignored it after that.
He seems healthy, his tail is still fat, he hasn't been grumpy, and has been acting normal otherwise, if not oddly friendlier. The temperature of his tank was regulated while he was away, and wasn't changed from what it is usually.
However, it has been around a week, and at the end of the month, I will be moving into a new house about an hour away. I am extremely concerned as to what I should do, and if this behavior may or may not get better. If anyone may be able to lend me absolutely any type of insight, please, please let me know, and thank you in advanced.
