 - sorry if im no help but u shud definately take him to the vet before its too late :/just check the temps, humidity are all correct. maybe try giving him a fewmore hides etc. it might be that hes just a little stressed from the new home and he may well just be settling in. However i'd advise u take him to a vet, do a fecal examination etc because if the other gecko he was with died recently, then this sounds like they may both had some sort of disease.

Hiya,
I would get little un' checked to vets to be sure. We have a male pictus and he went for about 5 weeks without eating and he shed each week while he did this, so he only ate his shed. He was about 6 months old when this happened. He is now 11 months old and is eating well etc.
