Sometimes reptiles need to settle into a new environment and will take a few weeks before they begin to eat again. I'm not sure about geckos going off feed, but I know snakes tend to stop eating in the winter. My leopard geckos always eat for me, but they've been in the same enclosure for 3 years. I would suggest double-checking your temperatures and humidity and making sure you have adequate UVB lighting. If your husbandry is perfect and the gecko still won't eat, you can try taking him/her to a herp vet to make sure he/she isn't sick. If you don't have any herp vets near you, try offering some food variety- like cockroaches instead of just crickets, or waxworms. Sometimes a change of pace will get them going again- you'd get bored if you ate the same thing every single day. Good luck- I hope you get him/her eating again soon!

well she has 30 grades on hot side and 25-26-27 on cold side but the hot place were she like to stai is up to hot place (is hard to understand because her terri is with background )
but she can also chose other places more cooler where is 24 grades
....but today she eat 3 crickets (i take them from a friend )i think she do`n like mealworms after 5 mnths when she eats them ...the problem is beacause i don t have were too buy crickets maybe some Blata Lateralis or B.dubia ,but i don t knw if is good that

bye ...and sorry for late answer..
