Weight loss problems.

[GoGo]

Our geckos have all beein experiencing weight loss and have lost some appetite and its worrying us horribly. The weight loss is as follows

GoGo- 65g -> 59.5g over a month
KiKi(Gravid/Ovulating)- 51g -> 42.5g over a month
Jeanne(Gravid or Ovulating)- 51g - 36.9g over a month
Alexandria(Neither)- 48g -> 36.9g over a month

All geckos are currently being offered mealworms(which they are all known to eat) and waxworms. Tomorrow morning we are ording for them more mealworms(weve got only about 100 left) and some super worms.

It is winter outside but inside its never too cold and the tank is kept around 90*F at all times. Powered by UTH during the day and UTH plus a red light during th enight, all on a temperature controller.

Is something seriously wrong with them or is it just because of winter? Either way with one female loosing such weight when shes going through her first clutches and a second going through such weight when she was paired with a male while she was heavier and might be gravid now(im unsure, but leaning more twords gravid) and another female older by a few months then both the other 2 females being so thin, the male about the same age as her being also so thin, im worried.

I have some ovulating females that haven't eaten for weeks, although they're also losing some weight, but not to the extent as your geckos. My females are around 80g and are only losing about 1g per week. Have you checked them for parasites? They can be nice and fat and still has parasites.

Good luck! I completely understand how you feel, because I'm also going through this not-eating problem once every year with my females!
