The other day i rescued some leos from a man who was keeping them with no heat source, and a cage full of poo. also the two females were attacked by the male and had the tails bitten off. One of the females has deformed front legs so it can army crawl around the bottom of the viv but thats about it. All of them are also lacking in size from poor care. My questions are as follows...

Aside from a vet visit and a fecal are there any other things i need to do?
(other than adding heat and a clean enviroment)

Will the females tales grow out of the "spade shape" if you would, as the tail was taken right at the base?

To answer your questions,

I recommend keeping the geckos separate at least until they are all in good health. This will eliminate further stress on them and allow you to monitor each individual gecko's progress (for example, who ate what and who's poop is who's).

My female's tail detatched from the base years ago and is spade-shaped.


I'm glad you took the animals out of poor conditions and that you will be taking them to a vet and getting fecal tests done. Also, it sounds to me that the female who "army crawls" has MBD (Metabolic Bone Disease).
