Sad day tomorrow

[Doggey75]

So, tomorrow I'm gonna be replacing the leopard gecko I got about 3 weeks ago for an adult. I've had very little luck with him. The first week I got him he did not eat at all. So, I took him to the pet shop and they force fed him. The 2nd week he was eating almost everyday. Now the 3rd week he has not eaten at all. I can't keep doing this and watch him die. So, I'm gonna be taking him back to the pet shop that I got him from in exchange for an adult. I'd rather them take better care of him than me.

I commend you for realizing when an animal is best left in expert care *before* the point of no recovery is passed. Hopefully the store staff can help out this little lizar while you have better luck with an established adult.

He isn't very bad. Just skinny. I don't want to risk having him another week and not eating that whole week. Then, he will really be beyond the point of return.

This is responsible ownership. I can't begin to tell you the horrors I have seen where owners refuse to admit their critters need to be rehomed, and they die thin and diseased and miserable. Be sure to take pics of the new adult, I love leopards!
