well I got these great geckos from someone on this fourm. However its been a few months and one of them is still not eating much(3-4 mealies since i have had her) The other geckos are eating lots and gaining weight. They are all in the same type of environment. and they are separated from each other. I leave mealies in a bowl all of the time and offer her dubias in the morning which she hasnt wanted.
Is there a reason that she isnt eating alot? She has lost some weight but still has a healthy tail for her age. She likes to be out of her "cage" at night for a few minutes then wonders around her "cage" . So she is very active. I change the mealies out every day for fresh ones just in case that was the reason.

Maybe she is not interested in in the mealies that are in the bowl. You should try wiggling them in front of her nose until she see them and then drop them on the ground.

I had one like that. I found that she liked to hunt. I got her to eat by dropping them in the tank..she would hear it and eat it. I started putting a piece of carrot in the worm dish so the worms were more active. She eats very well now.

Good luck on getting your gecko to eat.
