I have a small Leachie that I'm trying to get to eat. He's in a small plexi enclosure with a hide, paper towel substrate, water bowl. Temps are 75 degrees, humidity is 60 percent. Any clues, seems to not be wanting CGD 3.0. should I try some fresh fruit? If so, what kind?

well, we need some more information to help you.

how big is "small"? can you give a gram weight?

can you post a picture of the setup? the first thing in most cases for getting a young rhac to eat is give them more cover. often a young gecko will not eat if it doesn't feel safe.

how long have you had it? if it's only a day or a few days, don't be concerned; he's probably just settling in.

have you seen any poops or urates?

Can't give a gram weight right now, I had him eating some CGD off my finger. I've had it for 2 weeks tomorrow. I got it form Leapin Leachies. how do I post a pic?

Okay, lets try this again.

If you've only had him 3 weeks I wouldn't worry too much, mine went 3 when I got her and then ate like a pig, just leave it alone, mist it feed but don't handle it, I gave mine a full month to settle in.

[Kevin51]

Okay, I did have him eating from my finger yesterday. Thanks for the info.

[Aimless]

he'll be fine then, just give him a little more time.

I'm going to try cutting a banana into very small pieces and adding so repashy 3.0 to it and see if he goes for that.

Kevin, Steve's geckos are great. It will eat. They always do. When you move younger leachies, it can take a little for them to get acclimated. Handling is not a good idea for up to a month in most cases. I have heard of some leachie babies, some as small as 6-7 grams not eating for over a month with little to no ill effect. Also, banana may not be the best idea. What are you mixing the food with, and what size tank is it, and out of my own curiosity, what kind of leachie is it?
