hi, can you give us much more information about how you're keeping her? also, please, a picture of the gecko and a picture of her cage?

has anything at all changed about her environment?

I need to see photos, please.
also, what about temperature? lighting? misting frequency? I really need as many details as possible in order to help you.

Are you positive she isn't eating? Do you only feed CGD?
I have never seen my Crestie eat but she's gaining weight and I'm finding poop so she must be eating something ;)
Perhaps this is the same case with you?

the cage looks ok, the stats are right, and your gecko looks healthy.

have you changed anything recently? like, did you just put her in that cage? did her cage recently move from one room or location to another?

Yes I moved her up to the bedroom but it was to hot upstairs so I brought her back downstairs . Plus I am feeding her in a cap instead of the bowl to save rapashy . Thanks for your help . I am new to all this next time I wont buy a baby.

oh it's OK, and it's fun to watch them grow up. it's just that their brains are very small, so change makes them nervous and they have to adjust. she'll be fine if you give her a little time :)
