Sad story for my new gecko

Well, my little Mack Snow Patternless that I brought home from the store kept going down hill even though I tried everything for it so I finally gave in and took it back. It was really weak so I highly doubt it made it. I was force feeding it the Gecko Slurry and it was eating really good but getting weaker and weaker. I know the people at the store will not force feed it so it'll most likely die. I'm really sad about it because I have never seen such a pretty gecko before and I worked really hard to keep him alive. All for nothing I guess.

I work at Petsmart and all but I really hate the way that no one there cares about the reptiles. A rat sneezes once and it's back at the Vet. A reptile stops eating and its survival of the fittest. It's so dumb.

I'm so sorry to hear that.:( I know how you feel about the whole store thing.I live in Colorado and went into a petsmart the other day just checking out the stock and there were 2 very emaciated and weak juveniles in the tank. Their hip bones were protruding and they looked sick. I let the staff know and made them take them out and take care of the problem,god knows if they did but at least the babies got a little bit of food down them. It breaks my heart knowing I can't save them all but I never stop trying.It's just very sad.Again I'm sorry to hear about your little one.Best wishes!
