I was wondering if anyone could give me some help with my sick Leo. I bought 2 from a pet store and they were both eating great and healthy looking. My first one has since passed away. She was only about 6-8 months. She stopped eating and her tail shrunk right down. There was no diareha or regurgitation of food like with crypto. I tried Reptaid but it was too late. Now the other one that I bought with her seems to be doing the same. They were housed together since I bought them together. My vet is no help. Any ideas or a vet that is knowledgable? I don't want to lose her as well and I also have 3 other geckos. Thank you for any help. I feed them mealworms.

where about are you located. You can try Fenbendazole. You can buy it in paste form from cow town its meant for horses but it can be over dosed by 1000x with out being harmful but It has directions by weight follow them this will not work for crypto that is pretty well a death sentence but not as common as people think. As well you should really feed more then just meal worms they need some variety and it might inspire it to eat. If you want better detail you can call us 306-209-5960

Thank you. I live near Regina. I actually bought one of my geckos from you, a phantom. She is doing excellent. I will get some of that stuff and try it. I tried some super worms but they aren't eating them. I will pick up some crickets. Thank you.
