I may or may not have figured out why Ava hasn't been eating frequently. I think she may be ovulating. If so, then she must be early. I will post a picture of her belly in a week to see if she really is but here is what I found for now.
Do you think she is ovulating?
I may be wrong (I don't have my trusty book with me) but I believe you can tell whether they are ovulating based on whether there are half inch follicles on the abdomen.
If you very gently bend you gecko backwards over your finger. I mean very gently. There will be little red spots one will be up by her ribs and one lower in the abdomen. That is what ovulation looks like. Also how old is the gecko and is she exposed to a male?
She is 11 months old, 52-55 grams, but she may have gained more since she has been eating a lot. She's in a tank with my male Buki. They get along very well.
Te pink spots look exactly as you described. But I'll see how she does as the weeks go by.
