My female leopard gecko has gone slightly pale and has lost some weight. She goes for the live foods I hand feed her but when she strikes at it and gets it in her mouth, she then just drops it and let's it go. Then she will follow it, sometimes catch
Go back to basics. Check the temperature and humidity in the enclosure, make sure prey aren't too big and confirm she isn't ill or injured. This may require a physical exam with your veterinarian. Consider supplementing with Fluker's Repta-Boost, or similar product, to get additional nutrients and calories into her.

How much greens should I feed my red eared slider with pyramiding and soft shell at a time.Should I feed both pellets and greens together in a day?Which heat lamp brand do you recommend and how many watts should I buy if the lamp is 21 cm away from t
Plant matter should make up 50% of the diet with the other half divided between commercial pellets and animal protein/prey. Juveniles should be fed daily. These little guys are eating machines, so you can offer greens in the morning and pellets later or you can alternate days. Any basic lamp/reflector can be used. Start with a 100 watt bulb. If the temps are too high, use a lower wattage bulb or move the lamp farther away. This is where using thermometers can help you regulate heat.

So my friends leopord gecko stopped eating or is eating little for like 3 or 4 weeks and she has been digging a lot it says it could be of a cold tank but the temp is 80 and we are starting to get worried
Thanks for reaching out about Ruby. The tank needs to be warmed to 95-100 F in the basking area and no place in the tank should drop below 80F at night. UVB spectrum is important as is the proper diet. Anorexia for 3-4 weeks is serious and a veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a diagnostic/ treatment plan. Intestinal parasites, infections, malnutrition and others are possible. Good luck.

Hi, my hatchling red foot tortoise has a problem with keeping his eyes open for very long, he hasn't been eating as much as usual and when he closes his eyes I have to soak him in water to get him to open them back up. When his eyes close it almost l
Check the lighting in his enclosure. It may be too bright for him which can be irritating. Rinse his eyes with a sterile saline solution in case he has debris from the substrate. An exam with your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating reptiles would be needed to diagnose eye infection or injury. Another possibility may be a Vitamin A deficiency. Feed a good quality commercial diet as well as dark, leafy greens (spinach, collard greens, dandelion greens, etc), carrots, squash and broccoli. Dust food with a calcium and multivitamin supplement as well.

Hello i have got this turtle for3 days and my turtle is not eating.i feed him turtle food and dry worms but turtle is not eating.What should I do and plz tell me how to take care of it.
Thanks for reaching out about Green and including photos. First, check and correct water quality and temperature. If water or basking site is too cold, appetite is inhibited. Movement will sometimes stimulate a reaction, so a live small worm (mealworm, etc.). If these don't work, a veterinary visit would be recommended.
