Have you tried mealies, wax worms or super worms? My leo loves worms more than anything, I had some crickets & she ate 1 & for a few days wanted nothing to do with them. When I first got the supers, I held 1 up to her & she wasted no time, that day she ate 4 supers & then went into her warm hide & went to sleep, talk about lazy, lol!! :)

Also, something that it might have been, impaction. Do you have any sand or any other loose substrate in his tank?

No, has always been on paper towels, and there is poo from him eating.

I have tried regular meal worms, giants, and supers(waxworms are all dead here thanks to pet store stupidity) He used to eat them before, but now he turns his nose up at them.

Upped the temps some more and covered the top of the tank with some foil to keep heat in.

Ate 2 roaches today.

Read up, he's not impacted.

Everything is paper towels, even in the humid hide. And he is pooping too.

Although I didn't know if it was possible for him to get impacted on shed skin, I know that's far fetched, but maybe it took a long time to pass or something...

When he didn't eat for the last month or so, there was still urates in his potty spot.

He's been eating about 2 roaches every other day..he HAS an appetite now, he saw my ferret running around the room today and jumped out of his hide thinking it was something to eat so I immediately fed him some roaches.

I've been changing around his house almost weekly now, new hides/different hides, climbing logs. And it seemed to perk his interest and activity level, and eating level.

His color is still very dull and pale though.

Baby leopard gecko wanted

Does anyone know of anyone selling baby leopard geckos in the Fairbanks, AK area? My daughter has been plannning, preparing and researching for a long time. She had her habitat ready and went to the store only to discover that they had removed them all for quarantine. She is obviously heartbroken. Any ideas would be great!
