Or should I just say MY ovulating female leo is driving me nuts. I'm not a breeder nor do I plan to breed so it sucks that she's ovulating (I saw the little egg in her belly and everything). Since January she has been eating on and off, on and off. From Nov. (when I got her) to Dec. she was putting on weight like a pro. she was looking fabulous but now she looks all long and lanky again :main_no: . I know this is all part of owning a gecko especially a female but it is driving me nuts! I buy food and I get all excited because she'll eat the first serving but then she won't want to eat for another week, then she'll eat again, off for another week or she'll tease me. I'll get a food item put it in the cup and shake (think she already knows that shake = food bc she comes out each time she hears it) she comes running out looking up at me with these HUGE eyes licking her lips really alert then I put the food in front of her and acts like she's going to strike it but instead she licks it and walks away. 
I wish she would just eat the damn thing already and stop tugging on my heart strings. She's active, poops just fine, temps are fine, set-up is fine to me but I just wish she would get over the ovulation already and EAT something. I miss seeing her gobbling her food, she'd even take two mealies at a time because she was so greedy now she just licks at the worms and roaches and sits in the plate with them The only good thing about this is that my dubias have a change to breed without being bothered but what good are a bunch of dubias if she doesn't eat them? She's forcing me to just get another leo :main_laugh:
I know this is common and almost everyone goes through it but each time this happens I'm pulling out my hair and knocking my head up against the wall. Any advice on dealing with an ovulating female?
