Default leo problems help?
this on for my mate really

he has had about 3 leopard geckos die for no apparent reason!

i went to have a look at them to see if i could spot something wrong but there isnt anything that leaps out at me?

he is rather worried as he has only 2 leos left now!

what do you guys think

That he should take the leo's he has left to a reptile vet and have a fecal sample tested, and that you gently steer him this way.....

Leo's don't die for no apparent reason, 1 is unlucky, but 3????

*nods* I agree ~ three leo's dead with no apparent reason?
I'd seriously advise getting the others and fecals to the vets asap for full fecal/health checks as leo's don't generally die with no cause.

Did the 3 that died die fat and healthy looking, or had there been any symptoms ie weight loss, not eating etc before hand? When did they die?

thats the point none had lost weight prior and were healthy with a nice bulk to them.

one died yesterday and the others over last week!

has he kept the last one that died for a postmortem? for three to die in a week there's something seriously wrong somewhere ~ what has he been feeding them, where they kept together and has he changed anything in the vivs at all?

Well thats unusual, but would possibly be looking at them having toxins in their blood, through being poisoned by something either that they have eaten or in their environment, if there were no unusual signs on the bodies/weightloss etc. Did the owner not think to get a PM done?
