My new Leo's??

[filardimarg2]

This may sound a stupid question to you who have ha s Leo's for a while, but i have only had these 2 for a week, so can someone tell me............i have not seen one of them eat, but there is 2 poo's every day, so my question is...do they do more than 1 poo a day?? If they do, then both must be eating if there is 2 poo's every day.
Sorry about the strange question, but being new to these lovely little things i want to do my best for them & need to know this.

Some of my geckos poo more then once a night and some only go once a night. if you have only had them a week they may not be eating becaues they are still getting used to their new home. If you are worried about one going and one not you can seperate them so you can tell which one or if both are going.

I would seperate them like she said in order to see which one is going, if you are concerned only one of them is.
Try not to worry too much about them not eating. Some of them eat when you are sleeping or not watching. If one truely is not eating, like she said it could be because they are still adjusting to their new environment.

Whenever 2 geckos are housed together it can be hard to tell who's eating, who's not and why. It could be that both are eating and pooping or it could be that one is eating and pooping for both of them. Some geckos take longer to adjust to a new home than others but it could also be that one is bullying the other and keeping it always from food. You'll have to keep a really close eye on them and may end up having to separate them.

Mine can go a few times a night, or in the day depending on how much he ate, if he eats a lot he'll go 2 or 3 times, if it's just a few crickets, he may only go once.

Why don't you try putting some crickets in and seeing if they both eat?

I feed mine by emptying all of his stuff out of his tank except his reptile carpet and throwing maybe 6-10 crickets in there, and there gone in a few minutes haha.

But it's easier to tell he's eating a good amount that way, and whatever he doesn't eat I just take it out after he seems like he isn't interested anymore.

Dont your geckos freak out when you move their stuff out, or are they
too excited about food to even notice?
Mine dont like it when I take stuff out.
Even when I remove the moist hide for spraying, my female looks at me
like she's thinking "Hey, put that BACK!!"
