Hi,
It is now day 16 and my gecko still hasnt eaten a thing. He is only eight weeks old and Im desperate. My temps are 93-94f on the hot side and 80s on the cool side.
I have tried him with baby locusts,crickets,mealworms but no joy. I have even squeezed guts out and rubbed them on his face but still no interest. He just turns his head away from the food and goes back to sleep. He seems to have no energy and has a slight wobble when he walks,all he wants to do is sleep. He passed a urinate today for the first time. The locusts and crickets seem to bother him and he gets upset when they come near him,he just shakes them off his leg or jumps away. The same with the mealworms, they crawl on him but he has no interest and wants to sleep. He seems to be sleeping under his warm hide more than anything. I just want some advice,do you think I should take him back to the shop,Im so scared he is going to die.I have ordered some waxies which should be here tomorrow to try but this is my last resort,I just want him to be okay,Im really upset about this and hope someone can offer some advice
Thank you
Samantha

have you tried leaving a few crickets dusted with calcium over night, and maybe a bowl of mealies, they are nocturnal so they hunt at night, thats all i kno to do
