My pictus is sick, I think
Hi everyone! I'm new to this site. I'm actually a rather new owner of a pictus gecko (since August.) I think my little one is sick. He hasn't eaten for about 4-5 days. Before that, we had been feeding him wrong and he was deficient in calcium. I believe we have that issue solved (thankfully) but, now he won't eat anything at all (have tried his favorite: crickets and also mealworms) It also looks like the mealworm (that he ate last) is still inside him and balled up in his stomach near his tail. We soaked him in warm water to see if that would get him to poop (as recommended by PetSmart) but, as of now (about an hour later) he has yet to do anything. Has anyone else had this problem? Please help. I don't want him to starve!
Thanks!
