Not eating?

Hi guys I have had my gecko for 7 days now and he has not eaten anything from what I can see. He pooped the day after I got him but not since. He has two flavours of pangea available to him as that is what he was eating before.
He is 4 years old and seems rather settled.

I am going to get him some live food on monday to see if that will spark his interest.

At what point should I be worried and if he does not eat then what do I do?

Thank you for any reply.

I would say, it's too soon to worry, especially for an adult. just make sure to keep him nice and hydrated and he'll eat when he's ready.

is the same one in the viv pics thread? if so his house has gone through a lot of change in the last week and it takes them time to settle. even if he seems calm to you, chances are very good he's nervous about all the changes and he will be fine if you give him a week or so without changing anything, assuming he's in a fairly quiet place in your house, isn't hassled by other pets (cats peeking in, for example), and you're handling him as little as possible or not at all.

Ok thank you, yes it's the same one :)

I have not handled him at all as I dont want to stress him more than he already is. Our house is rather quiet but he is in the room with us, I will move him up into our bedroom and maybe the silence will help him to settle more.

I will not change anything else and see how he gets on. Thank you :) x
