Refusing to eat after bath?

[CatherineH]

Hi everyone, I'm Catherine I'm new. I think I may be being a bit paranoid but it's better to be safe than sorry!

I gave my female leopard gecko, Mulan, a quick bath as she still had some shed on her toes. (I have never bathed her before) Afterwards she was rejecting locusts, something she's never done before! She's not going into shedding, she is active and looks healthy. She last ate a big meal about 4 days ago and is around one year old.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated, thanks! I hope I posted in the right section?

The bath probably just stressed her out. Its normal for them to refuse food when stressed.Try again tomorrow, and I bet she'll eat normally

You were right, I'll remember that in future! Thank you
