Tail loss. When to reintroduce

[DoubleZ]

A few weeks ago my cat knocked over my leo tank, smashing it to bits. Both geckos were uninjured in the fall but the stress cause one to drop her tail. I know have the healthy one in a 30 gallon breeder with tile substrate. The one who dropped her tail is in a hospital tank with paper towel substrate. Her tail has been regrouping really well and she shed two days ago. The new tail is no longer pink, the new skin has some spotting pattern and is a more normal texture. My question is when can I put her back into the large tank with her cagemate? They get along very well, she has never been nipped or bullied and they have lived together for 7 years.

Keep an eye on them but I think as long as the new tail is growing back you should be fine. As long as the one with a tail isnt hogging food.

I agree with katie, one of mine reciently lost her tail too i kept her seperated untill the tail stump started to heal over then i put her back.
