Eating

[GeicoGecko]

I have 3 geckos. I have had them for a while. And now all of a sudden they stopped eating and got very skinny. My brother got wax wroms for them and 2 of them started eating agian. You cant tell them apart but the other one looks smaller then when i got it. I tried feeding it by hand and it ate some but still dont look anydifferent and now wont even eat. I was wondering what i could do about that and also if i put it in a different aquarim for a few days to feed it specially then put it back in the other one would it be welcomed back or would they want to hurt it? What can i do???

What substrate do you keep them on?
Have they been pooping?
Are they acting different than normal?
How long has it been, cuz it takes a while for a healthy leo to get skinny.
When did they last shed?
Do they have a humid hide box?
Is there at least 1 hide box per leo?
What are the temps like?

If I was you, Id seperate all my leos into 3 different 10 or 15 gallon tanks, steralite/rubbermaid tubs, etc, with just a paper substrate, hide box, and basking spot until they get better. Also, keep handling and unneccessary stress (noise, lights, vibrations, etc) to a minimum until they are normal again.

Ive read that soaking them in warm water, with the depth just touching the bottems of their bellies, for 10-15 mins per day will stimulate them to poop. It is very important to supervise their bath though, and not expose them to cool temps while they are wet. I myself have never tested this, so I dont know if it is good advice or not.

It is also a good idea to call a vet (or better yet go there in person with your leos) and get his/her advice. (I said call because they cant charge you for talking, but if you go there in person they may count it as a visit and bill ya.)

Good luck
