Leopard Geckos Too Small?

I have two leopard gecko's and I think they're too small. They're pretty skinny because for about a week we didn't feed them. My brother didn't tell anybody so they got really small. Anyways, I'm now trying to fatten them up to get their tails and body bigger. It may be because they both share a 10 gal. I need to get a gram counter. I have a scale, but that's in pounds. How big should they be if they're about a year to two years old?

Leo's will not lose a lot of weight especially enough that you can visually see the difference if they aren't feed for a week, unless they have some underlying issue. As for how big they should be for a 1-2year old is hard to say because there aren't any set standards. Some Leo's at 6 months will weigh in over 40 grams but others can be 2 years old and barely touching 40 grams.

Well when I look at them, and compare them to other geckos, they look too small. They don't have any problems eating or anything, they just look small. I'll have to find a way to weigh them...
