Why isn't my leopard gecko eating?
My little 7 month old leopard gecko hasn't eaten for a week. I have mealworms for her, but she will not touch them.
My petstore hasn't had crickets in stock for 2 weeks. It's driving me crazy.
What can I do?
I live in a pretty small town, we only have one pet store.
Thanks.
When they don't eat you have to check your setup first. Do you have her on sand? If so, she could be impacted.
Do you use an under tank heat mat? This is necessary for proper digestion and the temp needs to be 88-92F.
Does she have a humid hide to help with shedding? Are her eyes clear and bright (no eye caps stuck)?
Has she been checked for intestinal parasites?
She may not like mealworms. Try to get her crickets (and gutload them first) asap.
