i just rescued a sick leo today who is very skinny. i have dealt with anorexic geckos before and know that once they are as far gone as this one that they should die within days. but this one is different, it is more allert than usual, drinks readily, and eats as much as she can get. the problem is that she is not digesting. according to the previous owner it started with the gecko passing large portions of exoskeleton from the crickets it had eaten that seemed undigested, then it was whole cricket carcasses, and now it is to the point that she eats a cricket and passes it out the other end within minutes, ...AND THE CRICKETS COME OUT ALIVE, UNHARMED AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED, if given the chance she will readily eat the passed crickets again and again.
does anybody know exactly what this could be or how to fix if there is a cure.
she will die very soon if i cannot get something to stay in her
