leopard gecko not eating

[fab]

i got my gecko 2 summers ago and she has been eating fine since then. she ate 5 crickets last wednesday(february 9) and ate one cricket yesterday. when i try to offer mealworms or crickets, she just blinks and turns the other way. i will go get a silkworm and see if she eats that. she is still pretty plum but her tail has gotten a tad smaller. she has been pooping regularly but they have been small. could she possibly be coming to shed? what should i do?

This happened to me. One of my gecko hasnt even for like 3 weeks and all of a sudden last week he gorged himself of mealworms and dubias. Just give it time. Leopard geckos are very hardy and are able to go extremely long without food.

ok thanks. i'll keep track of her weight. whats the longest time she can go without food before i start really worrying?

I think leopard geckos slow down and don't eat as much in the winter. mine definetley doesn't eat as much now than in spring and summer.

i know but she's been eating fine all winter, now that spring is sorta here he decides to stop.

As long as nothing else really occurs like other problems then he'll be fine. At a pretty healthy weight they can go a LONG time with no food.
