Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Feeding Help
I have a gecko who has eating issues. She does not eat much and when she does eat its only 1 cricket. Ive brought her to the vet, and they do not know why she is not eating. I offer her mealworms, crickets, and even pinky mice. The only thing she will eat is an occasional cricket. Is there anything I can use to kickstart her appetite or make her eat better. She is not emaciated at all, she is 49 grams, but she does not eat well. What could I do in this situation. Thanks for any suggestions.

How long has she not been eating? What temperature is her hot end? Does she have humid and dry hides? How long have you had her?

Without the info Chris requested its hard to tell why she is not eat.
Hot side needs to be 90-92, cool side room temp, humid hide, dry hide, cool hide.
This time if year some naturally slow down eating from the day light cycle.

If temps/habitat are correct, and she's been to a qualified vet, she may be cooling. How long has she not been eating? If she's in good shape still you might wanna try wax worms to stimulate feeding.

maybe try superworms there big and fast might catch her eye. but like other have said might just be the time of year. most of my breeders have started eating like normal again but theres still one that could care less.

ok thanks for all the information. She has always been a picky eater though. She only eats one item then stops. For example Ill put two cricktes in and she will go after one then stop eating and not interested in the other. I was never able to get her eating worms of any kind she is not intersted.

Ok Im sorry but I have to say that waxies for feeding problems are a not a good choice, wax worms even with great feeders can cause the leo runs and with a not so good feeder that is the exact opposite of what you want to have happen.
Has she ALWAYS been a terrible eater or JUST since the winter season hit? Winter slows down most geckos, its just nature!
