Need advice- unfeeding leo

[ksg]

My friend has a 15 month old female leopard gecko that has not been eating for a while now. She brumated from about October-January and started eating a few crickets a day, but then stopped and now she hasn't eaten anything for a few months. She's pretty active, she moves around and drinks water, but she refuses to eat; crickets die in her cage and mealworms morph into beetles. Her tail hasn't shrunk down much...it used to be very plump and it's still pretty plump. I force fed her some chicken baby food and parazap mixture today and gave her some watered down gatorade just in case she was dehydrated. I don't think the situation's bad enough to take the leo to the vet... although some people might disagree with me. Any other things I could feed her through an eyedropper? No insect slurries, my friend absolutely refused to do that. I was wondering where I could get some Jumpstart or anything similar to that product. Thank you.

If she's acting normal other than not eating, and hasn't really lost any weight, I wouldn't worry too much -- I've had some of my adults go off feed for up to a couple of months, and then just start eating again one day. It wouldn't hurt to take a fecal into the vet though, just in case there IS something going on other than a fast...

I agree with Clownfishie- get some fecals to a vet and go from there. Just because the gecko appears ok, not eating isn't... especially for extended time frames. Make sure the gecko is staying warm enough to digest food and I would strongly advise you to give it Pedialye instead of Gatorade. Let us know how things go and Good Luck!
