My new leopard gecko isnt eating everyday, I tried feeding it daily however it only seem to eat 3 times per week, am I doing anything wrong or is there any problem with my gecko? I really need suggestion or any insight on what's going on. I feed her mealworms dusted with calcium, I doesn't really have alternative option for now, I'll hopefully get a more diverse meal for her soon but i really want to know why she isn't eating much since most newborn leopard gecko eat daily

#

this is how she look like now

Can you send a pic of your enclosure setup as well

#

That sub needs to be changed to paper towels so she can be quarantined for 2-3 months. Also gonna drop the !guide so you can give that a read

#

She’s new and still settling in, it takes a while for some new reptiles to eat once they’ve been moved, just give her a little time.

#

#

I'vebeen trying to look for a bigger one

#

but I can't find a suitable one

#

Those are fine to use temporarily but it is small yeah, the only I suggest is changing the sub to paper towels

signal sun
#

the keeper suggest me to not put it in the fish tank that I got now

signal sun
#

do the sub need to be wet as well?

#

or can i leave it dry

steep osprey
#

No

#

Switch it out for paper towels

signal sun
#

#

Can you measure it for me

signal sun
#

please give me a moment

silent cobalt
#

Because if it’s big enough. The animal needs to go into a proper tank. That bin isn’t even big enough.

signal sun
#

oh its about 90cm wide and 40.6cm deep

silent cobalt
#

Okay so you have about thriving minimum

signal sun
#

i do have quite some pebbles in there

silent cobalt
#

Got a pic of the tank?

signal sun
#

I'll try getting one

#

the keeper that provide me the gecko doesn't suggest me putting my gecko inside yet however

silent cobalt
#

Just take the pebbles out, clean the tank really well and such and it can be used for the gecko.

#

Babies do not need grow outs and thriving minimum for any age is 90x45x45

signal sun
#

oh i see

silent cobalt
#

Your gecko looks older than hatchling so it should be fine.

signal sun
#
