Subject: not eating much
We have a leopard gecko that we have had for about 3 months now. We are
new to geckos although I have read several books on their care. We have
been enjoying her tremendously. I am not sure how old she is now-she
seems to have lost most of her juvenile bands. She normally is a huge
eater 8-10 meduim crickets a day plus a few meal worms. All of the
sudden her appetite changed and she only eats maybe 2 crickets every
other day. She seems okay other wise. Her stools though decreased seem
normal looking. I don't see any parasites on her. The other thing she
is doing that is new is she tries to climb the glass walls and her
house. Or if you put your hand in she instantly will climb up your arm.
These are all new behaviors for her. I asked at the pet store if this is
normal and they said maybe she was ready to breed and this was part of
her changing behavior. Is this normal? I know her appetite should
decrease as she gets older but this was very sudden. How concerned
should I be?
