Why isnt my leopard gecko eating?

Question

ive put in a cricket and i have water and everything he need in there. i also has some gecko food from the store (which look like dead flY)

Answer 1

if i were u i would choose live crickets. when u bought it from ur breeder/store did u see wat they fed them? u should feed wat the petsore and breeder feeded them. they may not know it is food

get an undertank heater and a strong overlight. if u already do put it near a window that gets lots of sunlight but not TOO mcuh. it will not eat if it is cold. it knows it will not be able to digest it well if its not warm enough.

Answer 2

Leopard geckos tend to prefer eating live food. Instead of crickets, maybe try mealworms. Your gecko may be shedding soon, which is no big deal because he'll right after he's done shedding. Or, perhaps it could be a more serious problem. Many reptiles will stop eating when under too much stress, which can be cause my numerous factors. He may not be warm enough. He may have ingested some of the sand or whatever you used in your enclosure and it's causing internal problems. If your gecko still isn't eating after too much longer, you'll need to consider taking it to the vet.

Answer 3

take him out for awhile and i dont know if all leopard geckos are like this but mine wont eat anything that looks dead. so try to keep the food alive.

Answer 4

take him out and walk him around and if dat dont work bring him to the vet!!!!!!!!
