Question My gecko won't eat his crickets..
My baby gecko is refusing to eat his crickets...this has been going on for about one day...I made an appt for the vet for today...has anyone else had this problem? He killed the last cricket that was put in his cage but he refuses to eat it.

Are they too big? Did you pinch the jumpers off? Are the crickets gut-loaded first? Is his environment warm enough? What kind of gecko?

They are small crickets...the pet store in Jacksonville didn't say anything about pinching the jumpers off...he wasn't having a problem catchin/killing/eating them before. And as far as I know the crickets have guts...when I stepped on one it crunched. He is in a glass cage and he has a heated rock, and we have a heating pad under half his cage. He has an appointment at 4:30 at the Lex Pk Vet Hospital. Has anyone been there before?
