Somehow my gecko developed a feeding schedule around 5:00 it gets up and waits by in the front

Mine will lick the mealworm and walk away🙃

I'm amazed at the amount of incorrect information I was given from other people who usually got the info from the shop selling the geckos. I have been confused and your channel has been a tremendous help to me and to two wonderful females who were previously mistreated.

thank you so much ❤️ i commented on this topic like a week or two ago because my gecko wasnt eating much and the lady at the petstore then told me it might be because of the change of season but now she’s eating well like before !

I’m so happy, it’s winter time where I’m at and I was so confused why my gecko went a day without eating and was sleeping all day when he’s usually active around 8pm to the morning then he’s back to his hide and sleep, now I know why I’m so happy

Something that worked for my picky boy was changing his feeding schedule every one in a while. If he’s refusing food at evening/night for a week, I surprise him with a morning feeding, or a random time feeding. It kicks him back into habit.

Thank you for taking so much time in making these videos. We really appreciate all the great information. I've learned a lot in the past month since I started watching and I've had a gecko for 2 years now. My gecko is thankful too!

One of my geckos went on a random month long feeding strike and now she eats perfect.

Thank you so much for your videos I know it feels like people dont watch them but your videos have helped me give the best care to my leopard geckos

[beFreetolove]

Thank you for making these videos. There are so many irresponsible owners out there and I'm not trying to speak down on anyone at all. I'm just glad you're out here hopefully saving leos everywhere.

My gecko seems to get in a mood once a year where it goes off eating for anywhere from a couple weeks to a month. It is in the middle of it now. It's been a month and has yet to eat but is still active and clear eyed and fat tailed. I offer him crickets and super worms, but oddly he doesn't like waxworms, and he ignores them and goes to the door of the cage.

Thanks so much I just recently purchased a small male leapord gecko and I was extremely worried when he had stopped eating, after watching this video I realized that I have only had him for 3 days so he may just be getting used to his new environment

[desisill]

I know I’m commenting so late, but you have helped me so much! I have done so many things incorrect for my gecko like only having one hide, no vitamins and calcium, etc. now I have 2 hides and other things my gecko needs. Thank you so much

[gracesprojects]

I’ve been feeding my gecko with calcium powder for 6 years and he’s fine

[ashlynnhines]

i just got a gecko yesterday from someone who hasn't been taking very good care of him, and he's super underweight.. he's got no fat on his tail. and is really small but is 7 years old. my friend said to just leave him alone but he wont eat so idk what to do exactly.

“This is gonna be a long video”
Video is only 10 minutes long

It's class too see you care enough about these creatures to educate the people of youtube, the way you do.. for what it's worth, thank you..

[DerisedEgami]

I've been feeding my son's gecko a liquid diet (with calcium and a dash of protein powder), because he refuses the usual critters we give him. Probably hasn't eaten solid food for at least 3 weeks. It's good to know they can go months without eating. I hadn't heard that. We also changed his bedding, upon recommendation. We were told the sand we were using may not be good for him.

Today is my first day with mine. My Leo’s name is Charmander. It makes sense that Charmander won’t eat because he must be nervous.
