Non-energetic Eating

[geckogod]

One of my leopard geckos is getting older (almost 5yrs old) and is not eating as energetically as she used to, particularly the past few months, is it just the winter? If not what is a way I could get her more into her prey. p.s. she still is healthy with a nice fat tail.

Some geckos eating habits slow down in the winter months. As long as she is not loosing weight I would not be to concerned. Just double check your temps to make sure they are correct.
Also geckos can live for 10 -15 years + so I doubt it has to do with her age.

+1 to the above. Do you use live prey?

 

[geckogod]

Yeah i use live prey and the temps are just fine

Then I'd just say it's because it's the winter, especially if it's a girl, since they sometimes don't eat during ovulation
