Re: possible illness
if you feed crickets, it could be a worm parasite.

Re: possible illness
Sorry to hear that Sarah.
It could be down to stress with the moving. Or, a sudden LOAD of food that you've stuffed into them
I'd say give it a few days, and then consider further options.

Re: possible illness
How much/many waxworms are you feeding her? Feeding her too many too often can result in her becoming addicted and turning down normal food (such as the mealworms). That doesn't have anything to do with your problem, but just wanted to point it out.

Re: possible illness
OK. Just making sure!
A lot of people don't realize it :P
I sure didn't when I started off with leos! LOL!
How is she doing today, any better?

Re: possible illness
Yeah like others said... go easy on the wax worms... a uidden change in diet to a higher fat diet could absolutely cause GI upset... Personally I don't see anything about carmel in your signature pix that would indicate she needs "fattening up" at all... she looks nice and healthy to me. Just feed her a consistant quality diet and if she needs weight put on that will do the trick... don't over feed to put weight on an underweight leo... a good consistant diet will do it if it needs doing.
Re: possible illness
she seems ok in herself kath but she aint poo yet so i dont know how that is but will keep my eyes out.
both coffee and caramel look bigger in them picks they are quite skinny... caramel is 33g and coffee is about 38g they are no where near at the weight they should be for there age... there are over a year my leo elmo is at a heathy weight n he at 66g and i have now stabilised his weight by feeing him every 3 days only a certain amount dont worrie kermit i aint silly i am not gunna make my gecko's over weight bt i know for a fact they are to skinny... u can ask jordan n all coz they were his gecko's n he even said they need fattening up, im doing what i did with emlmo with them im feeding them evry other day and if they turn there nose up at it i will try the next day which caramel has done once..

Re: possible illness
They aren't too skinny. Skinny-ness isn't the issue. Its their general sze.
Caramel, is fine, she is tottering up the weight slowly, and growing quite consistently.
Coffee, has the affect of breeding season on her. She was well up past 50g before breeding season and its natural for females to lose weight over the season. She should shoot back up as the season ends. Which is now.
However they aren't skinny, just small in size due to their age with Caramel and breeding season with Coffee (which was explained before buying her).
