two females not eating help

[spook80]

i got a couple females from a guy here local they look just fine but they spent a lot of time in the lay box, and i check and see bad eggs from time to time. he had the females housed with a big male and sand substrate. thay are not the slightest bit interested in food or vitimins.they drink plenty of water though. when i got them o weighed them at 40 grams. they are now 37 and 36 grams pencile tails what could i do to get them eating again it has been about 2 weeks. i have used pure olive oil to loosen impactions on baby leo's before but not gravid females. should i try it?they seem fine they move around and drink but i just canot get them 2 eat. any suggestions would be great.

Try some wax worms. If they don't eat those, they are sick (not really, j/k). I wouldn't worry yet about impaction... it really isn't very common, even if they were on sand. Most likely just the stress of being relocated, plus the cooling of the weather, has decreased their appetite.

The white coloring is due to the substrate that she was on before you got her. I should know. The gecko that I just adopted was on that sand stuff too and her poops was white. Now it is not because she is on paper towelling.
