Yes it can take them a week before eating in their new home. Also leave a dish of mealworms in the tank at all times. They are much easier to deal with than crickets.

Got some today and waiting for them to warm up a little before i put them in there

Hi Scott,

When i brought Blaze home and got the tank set up she did'nt touch nothing for the first couple of days or passed motion, then on the third morning she'd passed motion and as done it there since and started on the crickets.
Leo's like to get used to a new inviroment's and males are the worst as they're very territorial but because you cleaned everything out lastnight he's just getting used to it again.

Well added the 5 mealworms in a little dish ( cleaned of course ) and within 10 mins Tico went right for them , he ate 3 and went to hide with the uth WOOT

i am so glad for my Buddie !

My new adult gecko still hasent eaten, and it has been 4 weeks today... They say this is normal for some.

Scott, i am pleased Tico as had the mealworms mate i bet that's made your mind more settled.
I've just dosed the box of mealworms Blaze would'nt touch with bleach to kill them, i put some out for the birds and they've not touched them either in 2 days.

I've just sprayed her tank, given her 5 crickets and turned the back light's off for the night, so she'll get the heat now from the lamp.

Love the avatar that's brill mate.

I do hope he/she eats soon because after that amount of time i'd be worried stiff
