Geckos werk long adventure in my house! Help!

[Dobbythegecko7272]

Hi,
Im new to the forum i have a few questions. I had a month old leo gecko get out of her feeding carrier about a week ago. I was sure she was dead ( i have dogs and a toddler). But as luck would have it i found her in my kitchen yesterday. She was cold and thinner than previously but alive. I needed to know if i should be concerned with her most likely have eaten the bugs i know are hidden in most houses? She ate and drank right away but im just worried she seemed very weak and her tail was thinner( obviously) any tips to get her fattened up?

First you need to hydrated her by sticking her in a "sauna" for 15-20 minutes and repeat that everyday for a couple of days. I doubt she will eat much because of stress but you can offer insects to see if she will take them. If she doesn't, you can get Oxbow's Carnivore Care and feed that. I would recommend taking her to the vet to make sure she did not get any sort of parasites.

Sauna: Take a plastic container, poke holes in the lid and put paper towels on the bottom, mist well with water. Place the container on the warm side of the tank and let it sit there for the time allotted.

A member of this forum lost a hatchling and found it 2 years later in her basement so I'm sure your little one is fine, just a little stressed and cold.

I don't have much to add that Jess didn't say, but I'm glad you found her safely!!!
