Passing whole food? Please Help!!!!

[ketz]

Hi,

Earlier today I noticed that right at the spot where my leopard gecko normally poops there was her normal poop and then a whole mealworm that was completely undigested and still even seems to be slightly alive. I fed her last night and she ate every mealworm in her dish and I'm like 98% sure that no mealworms could have escaped and gotten someplace in her cage.

Her temps are normal and nothing has changed at all in the past month except we moved in a second leopard gecko to the same, but not the same cage. The new leo has been with us for about 6 months and has lived in a completely different room the whole time and has not shown any signs of illness.

Does anybody know why my gecko could have passed a full mealworm? Is it likely that she's sick? Thanks in advance for any help!

There is a chance that if she ate so many, she threw one up and that's what you're seeing. Sometimes if one of my babies eats too many or is someone gets stressed in the deli cup going to a show I will see a group of mealworms in kind of a stomach shape and it's because the gecko regurgitated. Just keep an eye in the poop area and see if it happens again.
