Hi everyone, it’s madison ozzys mom again, my little baby still hasn’t eaten with me. I’ve had him for almost 2 weeks at this point and still nothing I’m absolutely terrified. I won’t really be if he was an adult but he’s a little baby and I’m so scared I’m going to lose him on the bright side though he’s pretty active and exploring his new home he just is not interested in bugs and I’m so scared I’m scared he’ll die of malnutrition or from MBD. Please please please help thank you.

Please share a current image of your leopard gecko Ozzy.

Have you tried spoon-feeding him Repashy's Grub Pie or dabbing a bit of Grub Pie on Ozzy's nose?

I’m definitely going to do big burger I have heard crested gecko food too but I’m way more comfortable using bug burger

Bug burger is for feeder insects did you mean the grub pie for insectivores?

Judging by this photo Ozzy does have some "meat" on his bones. Have you some idea how old Ozzy is?

Oops, sorry. Repashy's Grub Pie is definitely what I meant! Please get some ASAP.


PS:

1. Please share an image of Ozzy's 10 gallon setup.
2. Did you decide to go with a heat mat + a thermostat?
3. What are the ground temps underneath Ozzy's warm DRY hide?
4. Does Ozzy have a water dish?
5. Something else you can do to help Ozzy feel more secure is cover both sides & the back with brown paper from large shopping bags.

I’m out of the house as soon as I’m home I’ll send pictures. I assume he’s only a month due to the fact he’s only 3 grams

Something very important

This gecko is quite small, I would avoid handling until they are at least 10 + grams / 3 months old just to make sure they are eating. Also to make sure they are not getting stressed out.

I need to handle him to hand feed him though would that be ok?

Of course, I just meant limit to just cleaning / feeding / any medicine
