Just wait. It will grow back! Although the new tail may look different.... Make sure that you feed the gecko lots of fatty foods, as the stored fat in the tail has fallen off. Isolate the gecko to prevent other geckos from feeding from the wound (if any others are with it). Isolation also helps prevent bullying. If you see scratches on one of your gecko's legs, it may be bullied. Never hold your gecko by the tail, as this will cause it to fall off. Geckos drop their tails so that the creature that has caught them will get confused and the gecko can make a quick escape. I hope this helps!

Why does gerbils tails die?

If you mean 'Why to Gerbils shed their tails?' then I can help you! Gerbils only shed their tails if they are very frightened or in pain. The commonest way that a gerbil loses their tail is when somebody picks them up by it. They will also she their tails if the tail gets trapped. Please be careful and take precautions so the gerbils are as safe as possible, because it hurts the gerbil when they shed their tail. The tail won't grow back, and the gerbil's balance may be affected.
