Fruju Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Heya, My leopard geckos have been with me since March and have been champion eaters putting on a lot of size in that time. However, as of the cold snap last week they haven't been eating much at all and show little interest in the mealworms offered? Their tank has a heat mat and heat lamp on on side (where they spend 90% of their time), thermostat reads approx 30 degrees above the mat. Air temperature in the tank is probably mid-low 20s. Faeces look normal but just not as much right now. Is this a seasonal variation in food intake? Or am I missing something that could be wrong? On an unrelated note I am interested in obtaining a male for my ladies if anyone is selling? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Probably seasonal, how old are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruju Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Lost count of how times they have shed. One just shed yesterday. They haven't stopped eating, but I have noticed a huge difference in how much they want to eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Mine have not eaten for about 6 weeks---they are brumating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snookie Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Lucky mine totally refuses mealworms full stop... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Last seasons young ones, yes. They started to go into brumation by themselves so I figured they new more about it than me or Mrs Google. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 A couple of nice looking leps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted June 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Yeah they are great. Love how the patterns are so completely different, it is like a lottery. I'd like to get them a hi yellow male, or at least a male showing some different patterning. I figure the more people there are working to bring out their best the better.
