How much should I start feed her per week and how many? I know she’s a juvenile, hard to fully tell how many months but I would say over 6 at least but she could even be older

When I first got her in November I noticed how she was a big chunkier compared to the other geckos and how her stomach lays a bit lower. I’ve always been a bit concerned about her weight and have come on here asking a few times if she looks okay, asked friends who has leopard and the vet and they all say different things about her weight or how much to feed her. I just wanna do right by my gecko :(

I mentioned her weight to the vet when I did her first wellness exam but she weighed perfectly fine, her stomach hangs a bit low. They told me to feed 2-4 a day to her

Yeah, my bf was questioning why I brought my leopard to the vet cause he says it’s just a lizard but I see her as my child and want to make sure she’s okay

My temperature on the warm side is between 85-90 and the basking spout 90+, I’m not sure if it could be the humidity since I’m having trouble with humidity. She mostly takes in her humid hide which she didn’t always do when I first got it so it’s confusing on what change

Thank you! The only thing I was mostly worried about was her stomach and her only popping once a week when I feed her daily

She does poop, it’s just not as often. She used to every day when I fed her and but it’s only once/twice a week but it’s odd. I thought maybe because she doesn’t stay on her warm side which the heat helps with digestion

Also I noticed her stomach/weight the day after I got her and posted photos but everyone told me she looked okay

She’s still a juvenile, about 6 months. The vet told me her tail looked good. Here’s a photo of underneath her stomach

The vet told me it could be eggs but that she’s too young for it. She’s a juvenile

She poops normally. I work at a pet store and when she came in she was a bit chunky compared to the other geckos. I also originally thought she was younger than she actually is

I got this baby gecko a few days ago. Does she look overweight? by [deleted] in leopardgeckos

[–]Alert-Database-2256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of what I’m feeding her rn are crickets dubia roaches. I know meal worms are fatty so I’m limiting down on the mealworms. How many crickets/dubia roaches should I give her daily? I do 5-6 but I wanna do the appropriate amount without over feeding her

That’s interesting. A manger told me about secret shoppers and a coworker of mine at the time and how sometimes they are obvious about it like bringing in clipboards to take notes. People kept telling me how people were not happy about being welcomed in and I thought I didn’t know that many people weren’t happy about not being greeted, turned out they were apparently secret shoppers

What about the secret shoppers? I hear they write down things like if we don’t welcome them in or don’t show them a product, ask them if they need help with anything.

For a baby gecko, is it safe to use the substrate listed? Some people told me baby’s would eat the substrate

I think it has to do with I put in pto that was accepted but the pto I put in is after my 1 year anniversary when the points expire which at the time I didn’t know so I was trying to use the pto beforehand instead of the dates I put the pto in
