Hi
I am very worried about my fat tailed gecko. He has not eaten anything in 3 days and just stays in his hide and he had diarrhea.
I got him just over a week ago. He is 2 months old. His tank is about 20 l. I have paper towel down as his substrate. He has a heat pad on one side of his cage where one of his hides is - this hide he stays in all the time. The temperature is around 94. On the other side of his tank it is cooler and he has another hide with moss in the bottom that I keep moist and his water bowl.
For the first few days he came out at night and he did eat - I fed him crickets the first night but then he wouldn't kill them and since you shouldn't leave the crickets in over night I would kill them for him and he ate mealworms too. Also he drank fine.
But for the past 3 days he has not eaten anything. He just stayed in his warm hide and dent come out.
Last night I turned his heat mat off in the evening and he did come out of his hide in the evening. But he still didn't eat anything and then I noticed this morning he had abit of diarrhea.
I read some where that if they don't eat to try to feed him Turkey and vegetables baby food but how do I feed him it if I should?
I am very worried. Any advice?
