feed her at night when she would normally eat and i would also start her on some small phoenix worms exclusively until she begins gaining fat in her tail. if you cant get the phoenix worms i use small meal worms gutloaded with 1/2 chick mash 1/2 oatmeal. my leos are all very fat and happy because of this. hope this helps and good luck!!

You should not forget that they are nocturnal animals , They see better at night. And i think that albinos animals are more sensitive to light. I feed my leo 2 times a day, Before opening the lights at around 8-9am . And a couple of hours after closing the lights , Around 8-9 Pm. I feed her 2 times a day cuz i have to do so with my fishes. So it dont bother me.

you can not over feed a gecko when they are hungry they are going to eat you can try really tiny crickets and if they are to fast for he or she they take off the legs of the crickets so she can eat. and is there any other geckos in the tank if so they could be eating everything before he or she does so you should get it in a seoarate tank till it gets healthy like a hospital tank
