Hi,

I purchased two baby Leopard Geckos a week ago today from the same pet store, but one still hasn't eaten anything since he's been in my care. I am quite worried about her because she seems to be very thin throughout the body and the tail. When I first got her, she was much thicker. The other gecko is eating normally.

I took the gecko I'm worried about to a local family-owned pet store, and the owner said it sounded like a parasite. He proceeded to give my gecko a shot of Panacur, which is used for parasite treatment/deworming. He said if the gecko ended up not having a parasite, it would not harm her.

I'm hoping this will help her. I've tried crickets and mealworms, both left in the cage and hand-feeding. Do I need to force feed at some point? When is this point recommended?

The temperatures and husbandry is all spot on. I've been checking it very frequently. Both geckos are housed together.

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you for your time!
