Embers not eating

[Monza geckos]

Hi I know you've heard this 100's of times but I'm wondering why my leopard geckos all of a sudden not eating much. She will only eat waxworms which is a treat but she won't eat crickets mealies morios or dubias nymphs or darklings but she will usually eat all

Answer these questions and answer them truthfully. Nobody will criticize you about doing something wrong and you will only get an answer if answering truthfully. When it comes to humidity and temp go and see exactly what they are now. Copy the questions and write answers next to them.

1. Size of enclosure?


2. # of inhabitants - specifically other animals and size differences?


3. Humidity?


4. Temperature?


5. Water - type - for both misting and soaking dish?


6. Materials used for substrate?


7. Enclosure set up i.e. plants (live or artificial), wood, bark and other materials. - How were things prepared prior to being put into the viv?


8. Main food source?


9. Vitamins and calcium? (how often?)


10. Lighting?


11. What is being used to maintain the temperature of the enclosure?


12. When is the last time he/she ate?


13. Have you found poop lately?


14. A pic would be helpful including animal and enclosure (any including cell phone pic is fine)


15. How old is the animal?


16. How long have you owned him/her?


17. Is the animal wild caught or captive bred?


18. Food- how often and if it is diverse, what other feeders are used as treats?

Ok kind of impossible to see what everything is considering I said answer next to the questions. Answer these ones now. Space things out and use correct grammar and punctuation please as that just looks like a big jummble of letters. What reptile is on the calcium powder tub? Is it the pink lizard with two red stripes or is it the bluish gecko? When was the last time she pooped? How often do you change water? How often do you do a full enclosure clean out? A pic would be helpful as well.

And also what is the humidity?

[Monza geckos]

Dunno don't have hygrometer

[Truffs1178]

And answer my other random questions please. The post above the humidity one.

[mpmackenna]

How old is your gecko?

[Delivor]

When was the last time she ate?
Is she in a shed?(pale skin)
Does she have blue lines and patches on her stomach?

I dont think you should be allarmed because leopard geckos have periods when they stop eating alltogether, if she is not losing weight its fine. Mine wouldnt eat for 2.5 weeks once.
Its just normal

[Truffs1178]

It's probably just a phase Ben but I want to know the answer to this question. Does your calcium supplement tub have the pink lizard with to two red stripes on its back or does it have the blue lizard with the pattern on its back?

[Monza geckos]

It's the exo terra cal with d3 not repashy

[Truffs1178]

Who said it was repashy? Repashys one of the best anyway. First thing you NEED to do is get a hygrometer. Second don't handle her as much.

You ar not answering any of my questions so I won't be able to give you the reason.

1. How often do you change the water in her bowl?
2. How often do you replace the substrate and sterilize the enclosure?

She probably only wants waxworms now. Those are like candy to reptiles and they are not very good for them.
