I bought 3 geckos off crestedgecko.com and none of them are eating good yet.
i bought them on dec 18th and they have not ate like they should be.
they will eat 1-2 meal worms now and only if i hold them to make them eat it.i have them in there own tubs there 27qurts and they have a 10 gallon heat pad on them each the nice ones at the pet store they were like 20 each.if you can give me any advise on them and how to feed them would be great.

PS.one of the females is gravid and im worried about that one the most


Thanks for any help.

Do you know what they were eating before you got them? Have you tried crickets? Are they pooping at all?

Hey I'm in the chat room now, If you're still around I can talk to you in there now! Sorry about before, I wasn't around my computer.

Well since I wasn't able to help you out earlier, here are some things you can try:

1) Make sure they all have a constant supply of calcium. You can leave it in a dish, or also try spoon feeding it to them if you've never given it to them before. (A little powder on the tip of the spoon and my geckos will lick it right off). Two of my babies weren't eating well for a while, and after I started giving them the right amount of calcium they started eating just fine.

2) If they are lethargic, I've heard of giving them gatorade soaks? (Maybe someone can help me out with this) Part warm water, part gatorade in a tupperware container. This will help them with electrolytes.

Any more information? maybe some pictures? Hope I could help a little

I got 3 geckos from garrick/crestedgecko.com and give them about 2-4weeks to settle in they will eat after a while. Mine wouldn't eat for a while but then one day they were eating like crazy and one of my females I got from him (got her in Nov.) Just recently started eating finally! Do not worry it is normal and your not alone

ok thanks i jest making sure im not killin 3 geckos and not knowing it but i would buy from him again

I am sure your not killing them. By leaving food in their cage you may not see them eat but I am sure they are I would most definitely buy from him again, I love his geckos as a matter of fact 2 of my leos (which I got from him) hooked up a week or two ago and my kahlua just had her first clutch of eggs I am so excited!

Well I just got off subject there lol but keep us updated on how yours are doing
