Hello,

My adult male Leopard gecko didn't eat since mating started or even little before. Very soon it'll make a month, if not already. I've been told i shouldn't worry if his weight didn't change but well if i remember correctly he was 74g and today he's about 70g. Not so terrible, sure, still wondering. Do they go on a diet while hunting for females? Or could that be the fact that i gave him superworms before that period started? I've never gave before. He still made a big poop few days ago, which means his stomach is still not empty, that's why i'm thinking about those worms. What do you think? Let me know.

Thanks.

I feed a lot of supers. They arent difficult to digest and my geckos always have a bm the next day.
4 grams isnt bad, I think he'll be fine :)

When I site him a cricket I can see he react but then he just ignore it. How long should I wait before really worrying/taking action?
