Not eating *sigh*

[Bling_my_leo]

Bling is not eating well. I put some meal worms in front of him, and all he does is looks at it, licks it and then walks away. With crickets he looks like he wants to eat e'm, that look they get in their eyes. Then he looses interest.

He has only eaten about 3 mealworms in the last two weeks. He has lost some weigh, but not much.

What should I do?

How big is he and how much does he weigh? I find that at about 25 grams or so some geckos seem to slow down on eating a lot.

Weight I am not sure. i don't have a scale. He is 8 or 9 months old now.

If he is not eating and looks underweight compared to some other gecko's n the site why not just take him to the vet?

can we have a picture, a picture means 1000 words.

Try putting some mealworms right in front of him, and make them wiggle. That's the only thing I can think of. Mine won't go for food that doesn't wiggle.

How does he seem otherwise? If he is otherwise normal, then maybe it is OK, and he'll start eating again when he's hungry, although that probably isn't likely.

Good luck,

We have no vet around here that deal with reptiles. I know he has nothing wrong with him., no parisites ect. Maybe he is just not hungry?

I will try the meal worm trick again.

Thank you.
