Please someone help my leo. He is a baby. Just got him about a month a go. He was eating small crickets and then switched to about 12 small mealworms a day dusted in calcium. His tank stays at 85 degrees. He has a heat pad underneath and a ceramic lamp on top. Four hides and one with moist substrate in the middle. He is on paper towels and has been pooping a creamy white. Hardly anything. He hasn't eaten in a week. Last night he was very active when I held him but today he is lethargic and biting at his tail making it raw. His tail has never been plump. But it's not super thin either. I can get him to eat and he usually does awesome! I tried chicken baby food and it didn't work. Please help I'm so worried :(

There could be a lot of reasons for his behaviour.
Blogs don't get a lot of views, I would suggest you post a new thread in this forum: Leopard Geckos | Husbandry, Housing & Heating

Include as much info about his set-up, food, supplements, temperatures as possible, it helps to figure out what could have gone wrong.
The best way to supply the info is to copy/paste this questionnaire into your post, and fill in all the info. http://www.geckosunlimited.com/comm...68527-helping-your-sick-gecko-read-first.html
