I think that pretty much everyone knows I received my gecko last week on Tuesday, because I can't stop talking about her. Anyway this is my problem I worry a lot and having had a gecko that stopped eating right before she died makes me even more paranoid.
Tomorrow will make a week that I've had my gecko and she hasn't eaten a thing, which I can understand but then again she hasn't used the bathroom I havn't seen a urate. She probably emptied her tank while on the trip since there were like 5 poopies in the deli cup and it seems like she was put upside down since there was some on her back and tail.
She's in a 10gallon tank with 3hides. Her Humid hide is misted twice a day and water is changed morning. I've also been leaving two mealworms in a dish that have been gutloaded (I change them everyday so she gets the ones that have been gutloaded for 24hrs.) Using Oatmeal, Carrots and Potato as gutload and they're dusted with Calcium Plus. I'm also getting some roaches whose movement I hope will grab her attention. My house is like 70ish-75ish and her warm side as been jumping lately since the freaking cat chewed the rhethostat, from 88-91! But I've used some extra paper towels to buffer it incase it gets to warm. She sleeps all day and comes out the minute I turn off the light or dim it down, today she was actually stuck her head out during the day for a little while.
With all this said everyone has said give her a week. Well the week is approaching and me being me, I'm getting worried. Does she seem normal or is there anything I should worry about or what are some signs that I should look out for, just incase?
