Since moving 3 of my geckos have lost a strangly large amount of weight...I haven't brought any new animals into my collection since last year and I don't have any of them laying. 2 are under 30 and one that I have had for a very long time is now starting to lose weight. Lack of appetite is also a factor and it is only affecting my 3 adult females. My males and babies are all fine, as are my Cresteds and snakes

If it's only the females. Sounds like they might be ovulating, have you checked to see? A lot of females don't eat while they are ovulating and can loose a lot of weight during this time. Some more than others.

never had the weight loss during ovulating, especially on Aaliyah. I do doubt that it is still stress, they've been here a while now I was most concerned that it was the move, but Aaliyah was eating fine for a while, then just stopped.

It might still be the stress ... is the room they're in now in a more heavily trafficked area of the house?

Maybe they get more light from outside and it triggered another ovulation cycle? Keep an eye on them gal!
