I picked up this juvenile gecko from a big chain pet store and he ate normally the first couple days. The next day he had a few crickets before regurgitating them shortly after. sense that time he hasn't eaten either his crickets or any mealworms that are left for him in an escape proof dish.
The first few days he was quite active exploring climbing on top of his hides . now The only time he will leave his warm cave is to drink water and to urinate. It looks like to me he has already lost a bit of weight of of his tale.
