My 1½ year old gecko wont eat all of the sudden!
She has always eaten two times a week, with a great appetite. Now all of a sudden she has not eaten for 8 days!
Does anyone know what is going on? Could she be sick? What should I do?

She still has not eaten anything, and her belly has swollen up a little bit. I think she might be a little bit sore, for she won't let me pick her up! Anyone got an idea what's going on? I don't want her dying on me!

could it be worms? someone had used panacur from the vets when i had a quick flick through the internet.I have no idea about geckos as i have bearded dragons.if gecko is constipated it could be impaction? would recommend an exotic pets vet as it doesnt sound too good.Tere is one in Manchester but i dont know where you are.Hope this helps.

That's the thing, I live in the north of sweden and I do not know where to find a vet like that. :s I was hoping for some kind of advise..

maybe ring the normal vets for their advice on the situation if no one else answers on here as i've no idea how things work in Sweden or you could join RFUK(reptile forum uk) for free which might be of more use.

Don't fret! She's a leopard gecko? They go on hunger strikes fairly often, 8 days isn't bad at all. Female leos are known to go off their food when they're ovulating. Those fat tails keep them fed even if they're not taking anything in.

Thank you, the staff at the pet shop things so as well. So I hope she gets back to normal when it is over.

As long as her tail isn't skinny, she can and might wait quite a while. If she's really taking her own sweet time about it, you can always try changing the food you offer - sometimes a tempting new kind of insect is all it takes to get them interested again!
