I've got 15 Geckos and 14/15 are gaining or maintaining weight weekly.
Solaar, pretty little Solaar was a class A feeder from the day I got her home.
Now, I did have Aura not feed for 3 months, but her weight loss was less than 1g per week and now she's back to her original weight and it was breeding season.
These are Solaar's weights.
21/09/12 - 32g (the day I got her home)
27/09/12 - 38g
03/10/12 - 42g
10/10/12 - 43g
17/10/12 - 47g
24/10/12 - 45g
31/10/12 - 44g
07/11/12 - 45g
14/11/12 - 42g
21/11/12 - 40g
It's the 5g drop in 3 weeks that's panicked me. I mean, she's pooping, so she must be eating.
This is also the gecko I got from a shop, and someone might remember the thread I started about her poop smelling funny; it did stop smelling funny, now it STINKS again.
I've called the Reptile vet today, but she's not in until Monday, so Solaar is booked in for a faecal screen on Monday as that gives me time to get at least 3 samples.
I mean, at 40g, she's not in danger of death, but am I being over worried again?
I haven't changed her Vitamins or anything. I haven't changed live food supplier. Her heat mat is at 33C, she has a cold end of 25-27C.
She's active, she sheds okay. I took her off sand and put her on lino on 24th October because of the initial weight drop, but it's made no difference.
If the other 14 weren't gaining or maintaining, I'd put it down to it being winter and them slowing down; but I don't think so some how!
