Little girl not growing.

[garner63080]

I have a roughly 5-6 week old.Leo that eats, but she isn't getting fat? She's eating crickets and meal worms and today she ate a wax worm, but she just.wont.put on any weight. IM concerned she has a bug or something. Any advice?

Might be a parasite, are you gutloading though?

Gutloading feeders with the right things and supplementing vitamins makes a huge difference.

5-6 weeks....how was age determined?
what is her weight.
Average gecko 5 - 6 weeks would be 6 - 8 grams from my observations.
She is eating..should be poop ..check if poop looks normal.
How often and how much are you feeding?
Don't think comment "seeing fat" is really a way of checking growth.
If real concern... a photo, weight, habitat description, feeding routine,
would be the things helpful to supply.
Take care. Hj

Having a gram scale is a big plus.
Average gecko 5 weeks would go from 3 grams
to about 7....
Might be hard to know just eyeballing it, without weighing it.
I have one at the present that went from 3 grams to only
6 grams in 6 months. Yes that is somewhat of a problem.
2 others hatched days apart are like 42 and 44 grams.
Good luck. Take care. HJ​
