Re: Leapord gecho help
If I'm not mistaken, aren't geckos suppose to eat everyday?? Not just a couple a week?? He definitely looks to be on the skinny side..
His tail should be a lot thicker..

Re: Leapord gecho help
Omfg feed that thing. Tell your friend to go online and look up how not to starv a gecko to death. Thats grounds for a rescue. Mine eats 2 crickets a day.
Also is it getting calcium on the crickets?
If not… better get some. Is his tongue hanging out yet?

Re: Leapord gecho help
Holy cow, it looks dead. 
I would keep a bowl in there with meal worms and wax worms and some calcium 24/7, and offer the crickets a few each day.

This!
How do people buy animals and not look up how to care for them? I seriously don't understand humanity some times, and they're probably not "bad" people they just don't get it I guess.

Re: Leapord gecho help
If you give it back to her, make sure she knows how to take care of it correctly this time.

Re: Leapord gecho help
Well she lives 10 mins for me so I'm going over there right now again to take care of it, I bought her some meal worms. Going to put them in a dish and mist her tank. The temps are great. But there feeding is rough. I'm going to put meal worms in a dish for her gecko and leave 10 in at a time to try and get him fat, and il springle calcium on her food

Re: Leapord gecho help
Don't mist the enclosure. Make a humid hide instead. It's as easy as cutting a hole in a deli cup and placing a moist (but not dripping!) paper towel inside.
Also, provide a bottle cap of calcium all the time.
I've noticed some leos don't like meal worms. If gecko doesn't eat them, get some crickets.

So tell her parents how neglectful they are. People like this will only just keep buying animals in the future and not giving a crap

Re: Leopard gecko help
Sneak a couple roaches over. My gecko loves roaches.
But yeah, that poor thing needs to eat.
