is my gecko too skinny? she's 3 and always been pretty lean compared to gecko pics ive seen online.

she's been refusing most food for the past 3 months and i can only get her to eat one or two crickets every week (sometimes every other week). she used to eat mealworms and dubias but now she refuses them. i've tried superworms too with no luck. she's always been a super bad eater and has a hard time gaining weight. it doesnt help that she is also very active in her tank.

her scale batteries died so i can't weigh her at the moment i just would appreciate some insight based on looks and tips

thank u so much everyone for easing my worries!! she looks like she's kinda on the thinner side of ideal weight. im going on a trip for two weeks and was kinda worried about her possibly not eating anything her pet sitter will give her while at her current weight😭

Maybe tempt her with a hornworm or a few waxworms? Careful with the waxies though because they can refuse anything else
