I had my friend over for a sleep over last night. I showed him my new gecko and he quickly took interest in it. I turned away for three minutes to clean my geckos cage and when I turn back his leg was like this...:(

My gecko still doesn't want to eat. Are they like that when they are sick or injured?

I'm unsure of how long you've had him, but it may take time for him to feel comfortable in his new environment before he starts eating normally again.

I got him four days ago. He ate five enormous mealworms on his first day. 2 on the second day and 4 the third day. He still hasn't eaten today. I'm real worried. Should I take it to a vet?

I can't really tell which leg is the problem. If for some reason the leg is broken, it will heal on its own with a gecko that size. I would give it at least another week to see if it eats; it's still settling in.

I went to the vet today. The vet said not to play with it or take it out of its cage for 2 weeks. The vet said it's fractured.
BTW, how long will it take for the gecko to settle in?
