      Total opposite for mine, if her tank is dirty she don't eat

      Same but I try to move things around a little bit so she has to walk around and figure her "new" enclosure

    I've encountered the stubborn boredom thing before, she decided she had had enough of dusted locust, so when I offered a dubia roach a day or so later, she was straight on it! 😂 enjoyed this video, thanks!

    Great video! My Leopard Gecko stopped eating for weeks and it turns out it was because the temps were a bit off, now they are correct and he is eating again until he decides he doesn't like it anymore!

    My older rescued gecko (estimated at least 6-7 years old) went off her food a long time. She’d barely eat once a week if I was lucky, sometime almost 2 weeks. Would only eat a few meal worms at a time. She’s had become malnourished and has really struggled. She sees a vet and there has been nothing wrong disease wise. We are actually creating a bioactive habitat and hoping that environment will encourage her to eat more and regain her health.

    Great tips and advice, thanks. I always feed Echo in the evening and offer a variety of live food from locusts to crickets and mealworms to the occasional wax worm, which are used so sparingly that they usually turn to moths before I’ve finished the tub

    My gecko won’t leave his humid hide, I don’t keep it humid all the time because of this specific reason, only when I can tell he’s about to shed. He’s not eating but still looks to be on the healthy side with an average body and okay tail but worried cause it’s been about 4 month since I got him and he hasn’t seemed to warm up like others. He’s not afraid of me when I peek at him he knows now I mean no harm he just wants to be left alone at all times which sucks

    I’ve had back and forth debates over temperature with my vets. They say the hot side should be 30 degrees celsius but my geckl won’t have any bowel movements unless the temperature is 32 degrees celsius

    Please help Leopard Gecko!
    Your videos have helped me a lot, but I keep stressing my gecko may be impacted. I had her on coconut fiber until I switched to paper towel. I got her from Petco a year ago, and they housed them in sand. 😟 Her stomach is white, soft, and squishy. She has a big appetite, and seems pretty active. But her stomach is large and her poops are small. There isn't many either. Pls respond if you have any ideas 😓

    I have a 16 ears leopard gecko, I use to look long time ago at one of your video, you use to make a soup for your sick gheko, my gheko keeps shedding non stop and doesn't eat, like newer and doesn't eat the skin needer, and it can't catch anything doesn't even try so can you repost the video with some food for sick/old gheko.

    My male leopard gecko mated succesfully with a female and he doesnt want to eat anymore so i removed the substrate and changed to papaer towel (dw i put the substrate into my blue tongue skink's enclosure) and it did not work but maybe he is interested in females only he used to eat the day when i got him and i released him into his enclpsure and he ate instantly i dont know why but im gonna try and get crickets because he used to like those..

    I bought my Leo with MBD and gave her calcium d3 + multivitamins on her dubias/mealworms. It's condition has not gotten worse in the last 2 months. What else can I do to help? Her hands are twisted but hunting is not a problem.

    Hi there, I could use some advice.
    I recently went on holiday, and my aunt was taking care of my leopard gecko. She was a bit nervous about feeding live mealworms, so she gave her freeze-dried ones instead.
    Now that I’m back, my gecko isn’t interested in live food anymore. Have you ever experienced something like this? Do you have any tips on how to get her back to eating live food?
    Thanks so much for any help you can offer! 🦎
