Hey everyone. I'm a newbie to this Leo world...
...that being said, right now I have 1.3, and of those 1.2 eat WONDERFULLY. I mean, they could honestly eat me out of house and home if I let them. Those three are gaining weight nicely.
Then there's the one female problem child. I've tried crickets and mealworms w/her...both of which are loved by my other leos.
I never see her eat. I know she must be eating something b/c she's no smaller than when I first got her in January, but she hasn't gained a bit of weight, and her tail is skinny compared to my other geckos.
What can I do to stimulate her appetite? I've tried keeping her by herself, as well as with my other young female that's about the same size (actually a little smaller), but neither seems to improve her appetite.
She's getting a heat lamp and a moist hide, just like my other leos...is there another food I should give a try? I would have just expected her to be at breeding weight by this point.
I've included a couple pics. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks guys!
Oh, btw, I am getting ready to get some Phoenix Worms in...not sure if anyone has had better luck w/those or not.
