im new to the leopard Geckos and i bought a group of them from someone that wanted to stop breeding them. well out of the group there is one that wont eat and her tail is thin and her weight is down. can anyone know what it might be.

You need to seperate her from the group in her own inclosure.
Please post everything about your set up (there is a form at the top of this section).

You may also need to take her to a vet.

What are the temps and substrate. What do you use to heat her?

83 is way to cold, it needs to be 90-94 degrees F

thanks i just turned it up would you know why she wont eat

She needs to see a vet. No onecan accurately diagnose an animal over the Internet.

the temp could be the cause of not eating, if they are cold they wont digest food properly, however take some advice and get her to a vet, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have fecal tests done on them all to rule out parasites as a precaution, but it could just be that she was the one being bullied out of the group.
