Answer 2

When I first got my leopard gecko he didn't eat for the first day, I think he was adjusting to his new environment On the second day I placed him in-front of a dish {low down and not sharp} with about 4 meal-worms in and he started to eat them. So try putting him in-front of some meal-worms and see if he won't eat them make the meal-worms wriggle and about and try it again {this should work it did with my leopard gecko} and if he is not eating by now seek expert advice or visit the shop you brought him at for more advice.

Answer 3

Check that the gecko looks healthy if its fat don't feed it for a couple of days then try again if that doesnt work take it to the vets it may have something like impaction?

If you have your gecko on a loose substrate then its likely its got impaction.

a few ways to help impaction.

-- get a very shallow tray of warm water and let your gecko bathe in it then get some olive oil (only a little bit) and let it lick some of it, this will help it need to go to the loo.

ad help to clear impaction if still doesnt work DIFFINATLY TAKE IT TO THE VETS.

Answer 4

there could be many many possibilities:

- their husbandry, lighting, heat, humidity, hides, new home, impaction.

Look into a care sheet and try to minimize anything un necessary. Maker sure all his requirements are being followed. If it's fecal matter is looking runny, or he isnt't pooping at all. See your nearest vet, could have internal parasites.

Answer 5

Either ask your doctor or feed it a new bug or food.
