Crested Gecko: is he eating enough?

[izzy827]

I am still not sure if my little guy is eating enough! about every few days a little bit of the cgd is gone and maybe 2 mealworms every 4 days he looks a little skinny but they are supposed to be lean. :?

Have you been following the proper husbandry for your crestie? What are the temps of the enclosure? Too much heat can stress them out, causing the lack of appetite.

@awesomegeckos101 You can open a new thread on the leopard gecko section. You have to add details of its terrarium, like temperatures etc. and you just wait for someone to reply, it won't take long!

A pic of your gecko might help and some information about the husbandry ;

Enclosure size
Humidity
Temps
Foliage
Light cycle

A lot of factors to take in.

How old is he? Some geckos are just a little thiner. You should weigh him and see if hes underweight or just slender.

no you have to give him more than that maybe give him 6 mealworms or you could go to crickets and how old is he just some geckos maybe skinnier than the other ones.

he has correct temps but he has started eating more about 2 crickets every 3 days and cgd

 

[awesome geckos 101]

he should be consuming much more more than two crickets in 3 days

What are the temps? It's possible you are keeping him just slightly too cold which could suppress his appetite. Depending on how much CGD he eats in addition to the crickets, it could be fine.
