Question

My Lepored Gecko isnt getting any fatter. What Should I do. I feed him alot of crickets and mealworms. help me

Answer 1

Your  gecko could have parasites. Is he sluggish or lazy? Take him to a vet and get a fecal sample.

Answer 2

leopard geckos store fat mainly in there tails and dont really "get fat" how long u had it what have u been feeding it

Answer 3

you should try to put some calcium powder on the food....another reason is that he could not be getting enough heat

Answer 4

You can get a reptile more alert and healthy by giving him vitamins like reptivite and even gatorade (i would recommend sticking to lemon lime or orange). It is true that gatorade was first introduced for reptiles in order to boost their electrolytes before they realized that it would be equally beneficial to humans. Hence the name Gatorade.

Answer 5

i used to feed mine pinkies

Answer 6

They can be fat but not show it. there Organs and other important stuff inside them can be all fatness. if u feed it mealworms then u need to pinch the worm's head off so i doesn't eat ur gecko's inside's.  feed it 2-4 crickets every 2 days. it should be fine.

2 leopard gecko's

2 hermit crabs

2 fiddler crabs

1 gerbil
