Sunday April 6, 2008

Hello,
I am gecko sitting. He has not eaten for over 72 hrs. What can I do? There are currently 4 crickets & 2 meal worms in his tank. He usually eats 4 crickets & 2 meal worms everyday. Help.

Make sure everything is the same as usual - especially the temperatures (did you move him to your place to care for him?). He is most likely stressed, though it is possible he is ill too. Chances are a few days without eating isn’t a huge concern, but if it goes on for many more days I’d recommend a vet check up. I’d also try taking all the crickets and mealworms out of his cage for a day or so and try again (they can harrass and stress out the gecko too).
Keep us updated
Best Wishes,
