one of my leopard gecko is not digesting food

[jellyfish1]

Hi every one
i am the proud new owner of two leopard geckos
i have had them two weeks now but one dose not seem to be digesting its food. (and i cant tell witch one either :S)
i have been feeding them on small crickets and meal worms, the meal worms do not seem to be a problem but the crickes are being passed throught whole.

I work in an aquatics and reptile centre in surrey so have been looking after reptiles for nearly a year now and have never come across this problem before.
can any one help shed some light?

If possible separate them so you can figure out who is having the problem. Also, if one is sick, the other will become infected too if they are together. When you figure out who it is, see if that one will eat mealworms and whether the droppings look OK. Try feeding smaller crickets to see if that will take care of it. Can you tell for sure that the crickets are coming out as droppings, or is the gecko regurgitating them.

yes i will try and see if i can borrow somthing from work. i know the femail shed two days ago and was regurgitating the skin afterwards. i know they do eat the skin but is the regurgitating any thing to worry about?

Yes, it is something to worry about. It's often a symptom of crypto which seems to be more and more prevalent in the leopard gecko community.
