Urgent Plz Help!!!!

the thing is with that, the person i got it from wasnt taking care of this gecko at all i get to his house the heat lamp is dead and all the food is dried up so i brg him here to try and save this gecko's life but i dont have an extra heat lamp or gecko food (only collecting snakes right now) so yes i know i was unprepared to take this animal but better me then him at this point

go outside and find some rollypollys.(the black bugs that turn into little balss when you touch them and move really slow.) i feed those to my frog sometimes. try that. it mite work with a leapard geco. you can also go look for other things that seem edable outside for him. crickets and pill bugs are your best bet.(pill bugs rollypollys) hope this helps.

i wouldn't necessarily recommend feeding bugs you catch outside unless you are positive that they haven't come in contact with any sort of pesticide or fertilizer. you are better off just going to petsmart and picking up some crickets and a cup of mealworms.

you can use flexwatt or a uth for the leo the same way that you do for your snakes, you just need to set the thermostat for 88-90 for the leo. belly heat is better for them than heat from a lamp anyhow. if you can't get him set up with heat immediately try to keep him in a warmer part of the house (but quarantined away from your other animals) until you can.

If you have no transportation you could use a regular light bulb to provide heat.You don't need a special bulb.If he has not had a heat source, that is certainly part of the reason that he is not eating. Secondly a hide is just as important to make sure that he isn't too stressed out to eat.You can use a toilet paper or paper towel roll if you have nothing else to use as a hide. If you provide him correct temperature and a place to hide it will take a couple of days before he will begin eating. This will give you time to come up with crickets or mealworms from somewhere.I am presuming that he is not impacted but if he is, providing warmth will help that too.As soon as you are able get some calcium powder and put it in his enclosure. But heat and a hide are the first things to provide. Without these you dont stand any chance of saving him.

My leo stopped eating for about a month after I moved from WA to MT, I'm guessing he was stressed. I tried everything finally after about a month he FINALLY ate wax worms! I would try them. I fed a metric butt ton. He lost so much weight in his tail I was getting scared. But now he is back to being a fat happy leo!:gj:

hmm, a metric butt ton...i can't find the conversion for that into grams. :P :D

It's about 12 wax worms. Or until he stops eating whichever comes first. :D:rolleye2:

Seanmcginnin - How is it going for the leo? Is he improving? Getting worse? Still the same? What's new?

he died the day after i posted about needing help, very sad for me, even sadder for me then the owner which really pisses me off,i hate when people dont give a poo about their animals

Well that's a shame. It looks like it was already too late at the time that you became involved.
