Gecko isnt eating!

[rockaedward]

Hi! my half a year old gecko hasnt been eating, I posted a thread on saturday about how he isnt good at catching his food. And now he's basically given up on eating! Its been 5 days since he's ate, every night I try to entice him to eat but he has no interest. Whether its dumping them in his enclosure so the worms scurry around, or trying to hand or tong feed him. He just doesnt care about the food. His enclosure is well heated, so I doubt its because of being too cold. I fear that he'll die of malnourishment, what should I do?

She tried this repashi food and her gecko ate it right up.
Just a thought
