Hello, new member here...my teen daughter's leopard gecko, once happy eater, has stopped eating. We can occasionally coax him into a few worms, but it very few and far between, and a far comparison to what he used to eat. We have been supplementing him with Critical Care Carnivore, which he will lick off a spoon, but we are very concerned about the amount of weight loss. We have never been able to get him to eat crickets live or dead. We do spray the worms with calcium spray. Called the only reptile vet in the area and they said it will be over $200 just to take a look at him, so I'm trying here first. He has a 10 gal tank, reptile carpet, two hidey places, water, daytime temp 86 and he has a warmer under one of the hidey spots for a warmer place (which is where he primarily hangs out). This temp is maintained by a basking light during the day. We turn it off at night and tank temp stays around 74. Any advice greatly appreciated. I have no idea how old he is - she bought him from a pet store back in the fall. He grew quite a bit until around March, when this started happening. His name is Kiwi.
