My reverse stripe trempor albino who had not eaten in 3 weeks finally ate 2 crickets tonight . She chased some at first but couldn't seem to catch them . so I kinda slowed some down , IE removed thier hind legs and she finally got some up to 3 . Woot

ya, i've been there when your gecko wont eat for a couple weeks and you start to get worried, good to hear that he is eating now!!!

Great..good to hear that. I had one that also went about 3 weeks without eating. It's just what they do sometimes.

yep, mine just came off of a 3 week hunger strike as well. She'll eat like a pig for 3-4 weeks and then just seems to take a break. The only thing that changes is her interest in food. Activity, schedule, weight, all stay the same.

Last year my leo didn't eat for about 2 months. I don't have a scale so I don't know if she lost weight but she looked like she stayed the same size. Its weird though cause now I have to feed her mealworms by hand, I used to be able to dump them in a bowl and she would eat them.
