Feeding

[Echo]

Hello. My female Leo is only eating every 4 or 5 days. Two worms and that's it. She consequently isn't pooing and I can't see urate. She seems healthy and is keen to come out and play. Is this normal?

Yes, it's normal for leopard geckos to sometimes not eat much especially in the case of females during the breeding season. As long as she isn't visibly losing weight she's fine. One of mine hasn't eaten in a month and she currently weighs 78 grams.

Oh that isxreassuring. I never thought of weighing her.

Weighing her is fine as long as you don't end up obsessing about a gram or two difference.
