Unhappy Leos Not Eatting

I have 2 leopard geckos a male and female and both have stopped eatting pertty much

i have them on paper towel, temps are 75ish cool side and 90ish hot side,i feed them mealworms and crickets

its been going on over a month....they eat maybe 1-3 every 2 days or so and they only go the bathroom maybe every second day(it looks dry)

so i am giving them soaks in warm water....is this ok for my female too shes gravid at the moment?

the males tail is still fat and the females had gone down but still has some fat

im worried about them and not sure what i should do, i keep meal works in for the 12 hrs of nite time

should i make up a slushy mix for them?

i worried about my female alot being she is laying eggs and needs nutrition

any ideas?

The females will slow down if not stop eating before laying, so that is not much to worry about and if the male has a fat tail and is still eating a little then you don't have to worry till he starts to lose weight. If you are providing food then they will eat when they want to eat. HTH

I wouldn't be too concerned. My male eats very little right now also, and the females have slowed tier eating habits also. I find that my leos can't resist at least 1 superworm tho try them maybe? or silks and waxworms.

have they noticeably lost any weight recently? Tails suddenly thinner?

Better yet, if you know how much they weighed a month ago and what they weigh now that would be helpful.

It's not unusual for them to eat less this time of year, most of my guys have slowed down a fair bit though the girls are mostly eating well to keep up with egg production.
