I have two males and 1 female leo in which the female (Cleo) is housed with one of the males (Mango) and my other male (Roarke) is housed alone. Cleo normally eats anything I give her (Mealies and Crickets) anytime. She is approximately 10/11 months and weighs 39 grams, in which she gained 11 grams in the last month. Mango wouldnt eat for a good while after I got him and then ate intermittenly and is now eatting regularly but not alot, he weighs 28 grams and gained 3 grams in the last month, on average he eats 3 to 4 meal worms and 2 crickets (thats on a good night- they are fed daily). Roarke was very difficult in the beginning and wouldnt eat anything, now he eats regularly but wont touch mealies he weighs 24 grams and gained 6 grams in the last month...

Are these weights normal and how fast/slow they have gained? Should I be doing anything different?

Mango is roughly 8-9 months (He is close in size to Cleo even though she weighs more- Cleo also was smaller then Mango when I introduced them and now she is bigger)
Roarke is roughly 7-8 months

Thanks in advance

you should not keep males and females together unless they are breeding size 50 grams or more because they will breed and that is not a good thing with a gecko that is only about 40 grams

well seeing how i dont have the money for a third tank at the moment and i was told i was buying two females NOT two males things SHOULD have been fine and since its a very reputable breeder i bought them off of one would think id have 3 females not two males and a female so for the time being things are staying as is
