Crestie Question

[awesome17]

Is it normal for crested geckos to go off feed for a while. Because I've offered mine crickets, and repashy diet but he's not eating anymore. He's eatin just fine before but he just stopped. And at night he's been very vocal lately, which he normally isn't. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does he look thin? Is he acting lethargic? How long is a "while"?

Sounds like he might be in the mating mood but I'm unsure if they stop eating when they do this.

He's stopped for about a week and a half, he doesn't move much during the day, but at night he's all over the place. But yea he's noticeably thinner.

Try a different diet. As much as I hate petsmart just make a trip to one and they have Crestie bites or something. Get those and try again. Good luck

Okay, I'll try that, thanks.

So did that work?

No he won't eat anything. I have only been able to get him to eat by agitating him then put a cricket in his face then he bites and eats it. But I'm just gonna give him some time then feed him again.

Have you tried to put the bites in his face? You may have to force feed with a supplement but I'm sure cantthinkofone will guide you in the right direction.
