Well my gecko hasn't eaten in a week and I'm getting frustrated.
Since It's getting a lilttle bit cold i tought she was Brumating.
she would spend most of her time in her cold Hide but now shes almost always in her warm all the time....Can she brumate in her warm hide?

she hasn't eaten in a week exept her first wax-worm like 3 days ago.
Is my little girl dying....she normally would eat 2-4 large mealworms every day.......I'm really worried........Also she's not impacted(no sand) Temps are perfect,
I found this weird poo, not in her normal spot.....Please help...anything would help

How can she poo with nothing in her stomach?

what are her temps, cool side and warm side?

i doubt she is dying but lets start this easy and start from the basics

does she have a humid hide?

have you tried soaking her? It isn't uncommon for them to not eat for a week when they are ovulating..

you could bump the temp up a couple of degrees, around 92-95. a healthy gecko can go about a month of not eating, and still catch back up. if you REALLY think she's dying then take her to the vet, she cold still be fine ans just ovulating.
