new gecko not eating.

[ZombieDharma]

I bought a 2 month old leo from ***** friday of last week and have been trying to let him/her settle in. But I'm starting to get concerned because he wont eat. Doesn't even seem interested in teh meal worms and crix I offer.

Meal worms all day, crix over night.

I want to keep him if at all possible, but I'm not sure what to do.

I have one other one that is a tremper giant that I don't remember having these problems with so this is kind of new to me.

Any suggestions?

It can take longer than a week for geckos to settle in. Every gecko is different. I would recommend not leaving crickets in for more than an hour since it can stress them out even more.

Update: The Leo in question has passed on. In retrospect it did not look as healthy as a 2 month old (or what my friends 2 month old) should. This combined with the stress of a new enclosure probably lead to it. I tried everything I could and followed guidelines.

RIP Sanani

Thanks Mel&Keith for your advice.
