Garg not eating, don't see any poop
LOG IN TO CLOSE THIS AD
She was 8 grams when I got her on Nov. 3rd but I'm afraid to disturb her to weigh her again. I haven't seen any poop in the enclosure since this started...
Is she just stressed or should I be concerned about something else? Right now her humidity doesn't get much below 50% with misting in the morning and at night. She is on paper towel and the temp range is about 73-77 in the day and around 70 at night.
I hope I'm overreacting...
**UPDATE!**
She ate! I got the crickets and also got some Repashy diet to see if maybe a new flavor of food would entice her. When I went to throw a cricket in I saw she had licked down to the bottom of her food bowl with the pangea in it. Not sure if she just decided it was time to eat or if the new smell woke her appetite. I'm leaving the cricket for tonight to see if she wants that too.
Thank you for the replies!Last edited by Miyukiwynter; 12-12-2018 at 10:41 PM.

It can take up to a month for a gecko to feel comfortable enough in new surroundings to start eating. Don't rearrange anything else for a while, and just keep offering fresh food (every other day is fine for the Pangea), and the dusted dubias or crickets. (Don't leave the crickets loose in the enclosure if she doesn't eat them.) You're misting just fine, and your temps are fine too. You're doing everything right, most likely she is just adjusting to new surroundings.

You could always hand feed it to get it started. Simply place a small amount of the food on a spoon, and touch it to the geckos mouth. Usually, they start lapping it up. Getting it to hold still might be the biggest challenge.
