Not eating?

[frost1375]

Two of my geckos haven't eaten in about two weeks. (that I've noticed). It seems as if the same amount of meal worms are still in their bowl. Could this be happening because of the change of seasons? One of them shed, but it was about two weeks ago, so she should be eating now. I'm going to try crickets today. I just don't think they are sick if two of them are going through the same thing. The pair that is not eating is also the pair that were kept together for a long time and have mated (before I found out one was male and one was female). Any ideas before I start getting worried? Thank you.

It is pretty common this time of the year. I would monitor their weight, and if they begin to loose, take them to the vet to rule out any potential problems. Also check to see if they are still defecating. Good luck!

Ive have several females that came off feeding this year. They went a couple of weeks without eating. I tried crickets as I usually feed them mealies. They took the crickets and have been eating just fine now even mealies again. I think they just kinda tire out of the mealies and the movement of the crickets get them going again. Just my 2cts. worth.

Thank you both! I'll keep a close eye on them.
