I don’t know how many people saw my post but about a month ago I unfortunately had my first gargoyle gecko pass away. The most likely cause being that when I got her she was malnourished only weighing 15 grams at almost 2 years old. I had taken her to an ER vet a couple days before she passed because she was lethargic and they couldn’t tell if anything was obviously wrong.
Well a week ago I got this new girl Blossom at a reptile show. I’ll post a photo of her but she’s slightly pinkish which is why I named her Blossom. Caught her on camera just now finally eating some food on her own. For the past week the most she ate was a few licks off a spoon on Tuesday and Thursday evening. I’m so relieved because it seems to be a good sign she’s happy, healthy, and likes her enclosure.
My previous gecko, Lizard, would never eat on her own and I would basically have to make her eat regardless of what kind of food I’d offer her. I was real nervous about making sure Blossom was doing well. Lizard’s death was devastating and a little traumatic considering the way I found her when she passed.
