    New Gecko wont eat

    Shes around the 3 inch mark, I ordered her from a reputable breeder along with another one. Both are in identical setups, the other one I have eats fine. Its been about 2 weeks since I recieved them. The one that wont eat seems terrified, the second I move her enclosure she goes crazy running around. Any ideas?

    Have you tried both meal worms and crickets?

    Idk if you are still having trouble with your gecko eating but I was having the same problem with my hatchling until tonight. What I did was take a wax worm and cut it in half and put the cut end up to the leos mouth and it ate it. If you try this make sure you squeeze the worm a tiny bit so some of the guts are exposed and put the guts right on the mouth. Wax worms can be addictive but very good at rehabilitating Leos. You could probably try squishing a cricket or meal worm first if you want.
