Anybody ever have this problem? All of a sudden today my gecko cant get enough of me handling him, i put him down after a bit and he wanders around and looks at me like a puppy dog. I put my hand out and gets in right away with little coaxing. Usually he avoids my hand when i place it in the...

My gecko stopped eating mealworms for 3 weeks and only ate crickets, now he's back to loving mealworms. Who knows.

my vet told me to get a UV light for my gecko as well, which surprised me

good to hear in plan on getting eco earth as soon as my baby becomes an adult

Oh im in Chicago but i got good news he/she ate some crickets so i think all that time he spent in his humid hide is starting to make his eyes better. For whatever reason he never went near his humid hide til a few days ago but i think it is now doing him a world of good.....Appreciate the offer...

are those turtle eyedrops any good?

I think i got the same problem, this guy stopped eating thought maybe he had an impaction but the vet found nothing then it hit me the next night. He cant see. I put my hand in front of his face he doesn't flinch, wont follow the crickets and his eyes are always closed now. When i soaked him...

how do you get him to eat his food since he can't see his prey?

It wasnt a full sized cricket i only purchase the smaller size, but this guy was the big one in the bunch, but im almost certain that isnt an issue at this point. Its either shedding or something else, ill find out tomorrow for sure. Thanks all for the feedback

Yeah he does look kind pale, do they stop eating when they are about to shed? No i don't have him on sand but the store where i bought him from has all their leo's on sand.

Well he still isn't eating, do Juvie's go on hunger strikes? They seem to be somewhat common in adults. I was really worried because he was also sluggish and also would not keep his eyes open for more than 5 seconds at a time but he seemed somewhat active last night and this morning. When i left...

Does anybody know what vets do to treat an impaction?

Im a bit worried, my gecko ate a cricket that might've been a bit too big for him, he ate him and then i woke up the next day and he had either vomited or pooped him out. The cricket was in one piece covered in goop so there was no chewing or digestion so i think he swallowed him whole.36 hours...

I have a UTH in my 20 gallon but its not doing the job, temps in the 80 to 85 range and 65 on the cool side. Had to get a heat lamp to supplement my UTH. I only plan to have it on 8 hours a day or so.

thanks a lot for the feedback
