Not Eating yet

[mainelygeckos]

I'm probably just overly worried for nothing bu tI got a sweet 60 gram male last Saturday and today is Thursday..he hasn't eaten anything as of yet but has explored and deficated for me tho not pooed in last two days..I know sometimes it can take up to a week and i'm prolly just paranoid..should I be concerned at all or just be more patient as he may not be comfortable yet? Temps are good setup good (warm hide/moist hide and cool hide) I leave mealies in with him in a dish but hasn't touched them yet..I hold him for just a few minutes a day now but only to check him out make sure he looks good not enough to stress him. I know i'm prolly over reacting lol thanks

Eh, you can't help being paranoid with thing you care about. I'm the same way. Just shows you love the little guy and worry about his well being.

well lmao he eats super well now and am very happy about that....the female i got with him that is extremely malnurished (see the post here) http://www.geckoforums.net/showthread.php?t=40420 has gained 2 grams in just over a week! I know thats not much but man she was 22 grams! ( I have been dropper feeding her 2 or 3 times a day..3 if she lets me lol and she has gained 2 grams now weighs a awhopping 24 grams lol ..Initially a lot of people thought she wouldn't make it through the night (including myself but wow she is doin better then i thought she would so far...still keeping my fingers crossed that she keeps her strong will and continues to gain weight
