Both leopard geckos that I got shipped to my house haven't been eating. One of them has been with me for about a month and the other just over a week but barely any eating from either of them. I'm really worried for them, so if you guys know anything that could help please tell me!

Thanks,
Sol

they are temporarily in 10 gallon aquariums because I haven't had the time to build or the money to buy a rack; the temps are about 78 cool, 96 warm. All the rest of my geckos I got from a local breeder and eat fine.

Leo's

Two Leo's in a ten gallon is fine. Temp. on the high side should be about 90F. Are you trying crickets, meal worms or both? Also, are they pooping ok?

they are in their own enclosures, and I am trying both. One of them is pooping fine, the other about once a week at the most.

Have you contacted the breeder to see what they were eating with them and how they were eating it (in a bowl, with tongs, hand fed, etc.)? If that's all done, you may need to make a vet appointment.

Keep it at 96, dont lower it. Try different foods. Dont poke around in the tank, or with them. Remember there still new.

Good Luck,
J!

Yes, my bell albino was feeding on superworms in a dish and my mack enigma het for RAPTOR was eating mealworms from a dish.
Yesterday I decided to squish some superworms and let them lick it up, and that worked pretty good.
