Hi all!
I've had my juvinile gecko Dizzy since the middle of November, and he's about 5 or 6 months old now. He's never been a massive eater, but I've noticed he's been eating significantly less since December. He's eaten nothing for a couple of weeks now (except for calcium powder), and although I've managed to get him to eat one or two mealworms a night by dropping them on the floor in front of him, he's not showing a lot of interest in food - I've tried dubia roaches, mealworms, wax worms and crickets. He also seems to spend the vast majority of his time in the moist hide on the cool side of the tank.
Here are a couple of vague-ish shots of him - I don't want to stress him out since he is a pretty suspicious/cautious little guy, so my photos tend to look like amatuer ufo pictures:
His tail looks to be pretty okay fatness wise, however I don't think he's really grown since I got him. While I know that a lot of geckos will stop eating for periods of time, I want to make sure that he is looking healthy and see if there's something I can do that might help his appetite. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
