my geckos

[Ripto]

so I got my geckos from petco two days ago, they have nice healthy tails (not fat by any means, but it they look lean and mean, not paris hilton, but more of a tome cruise type look, and no where near a pro football player) and were on a diet of mealworms. so i've been feeding em mealies, anyways my bigger one, not sure if it's a male or female maybe 5 inches long? is the one not eating while the smaller one maybe 4 is the one eating the most, the big one is not eating much i've seen it eat one mealie and a dead tiny cricket. the other one has eaten probably 4 mealies... is this normal? there has only been one poop and it looks nice and healthy, a good dark brown with some white wrapped around one side. about the size of a pea.
oh.. they were on vita-sand, but i have em on some nice slate tile with the vita sand that they came with filling in the cracks so they don't accidentally tear off a TALON! or something. oh yea, and they scream at me when I touch them and sometimes when I get close. so.. yea

thanks

It might not be eating because it doesnt like mealworms much. My baby wouldnt eat them but when i tried crickets its all it wanted. Also it could be getting ready to shed, many people notice their geckos losing their appetite around this time.

thanks for the SUPER fast reply!

it might also be because they are still getting settled into their new home. I would wait about 3 more days before I would worry. If not eating then try dusted crickets.

that's funny because it just started shedding/eating its skin pretty cool

 

[Ccrashca069]

eating its shed is the norm of what they do.
