Firstly, He is about a year old male Leopard Gecko. I got him in late April, At the start he wasnt eating, took me about 2 weeks to get him starting, I beleive it was stress.
Recently, The Last week he has been actin extremely strange, He hasnt eaten for about a week (I have been feeding him on crickets and mealworms, with the odd waxworms(Fed a few of them about a month ago)) He hasn't been up at night like usual, he is usually up at the window doing his window cleaning act, but nothing, caput. Recently i have found him laying upside down on his back, with his legs up, this is really worrying me, and there must be something serous wrong. And not forgetting his head twitches, he shakes his head slightly, side to side, up and down, and basicly pivits his nose/mouth into the floor to roll himself over on his back, Maybe he just wants to give up...
I took him to the vets today (No Specialist... Dont have them in my area - Scotland Fife.) And I think i knew more then him, but being such a good vets he checked the books and all that, and he beleives its Nutrional, So what he has said to do is liquidfy the mealworms and crickets together with the dust (calcium). I will be attempting this tonight, 0.5ml.
I know it's realyl difficult to understand and how to find out if something is ill over the internet, As you cant see it or have a good look yourself. Feel Free to ask for tempertrues, Humiderty, dimensions, Anything, I really appreciate your time.
Thank You, Scott.
