Help gecko not eating!!

[kgeckoman]

Can someone please help I have a leopard gecko and she will not eat. It has been eleven days sense she last ate. I tried feeding her meal worms and chicken baby food but she will not eat it.

Hi ~

A warm welcome to Geckos Unlimited to you and to your leopard gecko. Has she a name? First off 11 days is not exceptionally long to go without food. However, troubleshooting your leo's care is in order.

1. When did you get your leo?
2. Has she suddenly stopped eating?
3. Please share these pictures: your leo (all of her) and her vivarium.
4. What are the warm end and cool end temperatures?
5. What type of thermometer are you using?

Please continue all your husbandry questions on this thread. That will make it much easier for us to help. It will also mostly avoid repeated questions from us.

My gecko sometimes won't eat. Have you tried crickets? Baby food shouldn't be fed to him and he might not be eating mealworms because maybe he has regurgitated them in the past? Mine did.

Last winter my Leopard gecko went two weeks without eating even though her temps were perfect! My only guess was maybe it was due to the time of year? I've heard that as long as they aren't losing weight there's nothing to worry about.
