Adopted new leopard gecko today

im just happy she held her head up and eyes were wide open. that is a plus from where i started 1.5 weeks ago.

She looks like she may have just been starved by somebody. Aside from being thin, she doesn't look like she has any other issues.
I think meal worms, crickets and calcium will have her looking way different 2 months from now.
Good Luck to you!

Thanks instead of just calcium i use a full vitamin powder and I also dissolve that into the water to really pump her back up. along with shaking crickets in it of course. Super worms work great also just take the head off of them first, but since they are real fatty it helps put weight back on fast.

I would get a fecal done. A lot of times those little ones get protozoa infections. Have the vet run a float and a direct smear.

Give her wax worms or pheonix worms, they will plump her right up :), got a girl in that conditon a couple yrs back, her name is twiggy
