My Newest (SAD STORY)

You could always try some of Marcia's slurry. Stinks like heck, but the geckos like it.

 

[Lottiz]

Good God! I really hope you can do miracles...poor little one....

 

[Greyscale_Geckos]

No worries! Most little ones don't want to eat when they first get put somewhere new. They take time to adjust, and this can vary from gecko to gecko. You can try coaxing him to eat by squishing some mealies and putting them by his mouth. But just give it time, I'm sure it'll be eating in a while.

Like Hannah said, I have had alot of success jump-starting an appetite by squishing a cricket or mealworm and rubbing the guts on their mouth. Usually after tasting it they realize they're hungry. If he seems really lethargic (keeps his eyes closed, doesn't move around at all, skin is wrinkly << sign of dehydration) I would try Marcia's slurry.

Thanks guys. He refuses to eat mealies at the moment. But, he did eat two crickets today (I tweezer fed him). It's not much..but it's a start!

 

[marula]

good luck with the little one!

 

[Pacific Gecko]

Poor little guy..hope everything works out for him.

 

[GeckoStud]

You'll be suprised how resiliant reptiles, even geckos, can be. Hopefully he gets his appetite back soon and heals up nice! Good luck!

 

[Michelle]

Poor baby. I wish you both the best.
