When communicating with pet owners, I often hear the sentence "My gecko has a big problem", and they are all in a hurry.

After careful questioning, I discovered that the so-called big problems are diverse. Why don't you eat for a long time, why do you lie down all the time, why do you always sleep during the day, etc.

To be honest, I was speechless hearing about these "big problems". After all, just looking at one situation does not necessarily mean that there is really a problem.

For example, if you don't eat for a long time, if this situation occurs alone, it does not necessarily mean there is something wrong. At least many geckos will have this state.

The same is true for the geckos that I raise myself. Many white and fat leopard geckos will suddenly stop eating, not for a day or two, but sometimes for seven or eight days, or even half a month. , but there is no problem with the body shape, the feces is normal, and the molting is normal.

When encountering this situation, generally the most correct way is to pay more attention and observe. At the same time, do necessary examinations, such as physical examinations, to see if you are in estrus and whether there are any injuries, and then combined with the weather month to determine whether there is seasonal food refusal.

Also check the breeding environment to see if the heating pad is normal, whether the ambient temperature is sufficient, etc.

If there are no problems with the above items, the usual approach is not to bother. Don't bother, don't bother, don't bother, say important things three times.

Many novice geckos panic when they don’t eat for three or four days. They are always worried about gastroenteritis, parasites, this, that, and then all kinds of tricks come up. .

What about bathing, adding electrolytes to the water, force-feeding, stuffing food, mommy loves BAC amoxicillin, and various medicines for treatment.

Actually, there may be no problem with guarding the palace, but the problem finally arises due to torment.

The longest time a gecko raised by Hammer went without eating for two months It had something, but its body was normal, its tail was thick, and it drank water and shed its skin normally. Then suddenly one day, it felt like eating, and then resumed eating.

So just not eating, this must be judged comprehensively, and must not be messed with.

Once upon a time, a novice climbing friend bought a gecko from Chui Chui Chui. As soon as he got home, he asked me why the gecko kept his eyes closed. I was speechless when I saw the photo.

The box containing Super Snow White was held on his palm, bathed in Under the sun, I took a photo, and the gecko closed his eyes tightly.

I replied: "Geckos are nocturnal animals and are not active during the day. In addition, this is an albino species and is inherently afraid of light. Please do not let it stay in the sun."

< p>So, before you start breeding leopard geckos, you need to learn some basic knowledge and prepare the necessary breeding equipment in advance. If the gecko express is on the way and the breeding box is not ready, then it will definitely not be possible to raise a leopard gecko.

Let’s talk about the problem that leopard geckos always lie down and sleep during the day.

Many of them appear when the express arrives home. After all, they are "scared" along the way. If you are "short of food" and have just arrived in a strange environment, is it normal for you to dance a bazaar black dance on the spot?

The leopard gecko that has just been delivered by express delivery must rest for one to two days. Other than providing water and maintaining normal temperature, nothing else should be done.

Don’t feed it, don’t pet it, don’t look at it twice, and don’t ask the seller why it doesn’t move. No interruption is the best way to relax.

Leopard geckos need a good rest to restore their physical strength after a long journey. The most effective way to restore physical strength is to sleep.

This is how we humans sometimes catch a cold. In fact, whether we take medicine or not, or No nutritional supplement is as effective as sleeping. Many severe colds recover after two days of sleeping.

It can be seen that sleep is a very important recovery method for humans, and this method is also the most effective for other animals, including leopard geckos.

Of course, even a well-maintained leopard-print gecko often sleeps during the day. This is nothing to be surprised about. They are only active at night, just like human "night owls" , if you look at it during the day, you are just sleeping.

It doesn’t use mobile phones or computers, and it has no other entertainment facilities. If you sleep more, you can grow taller and worry less. Isn’t this a good thing?

It is better than raising a wealthy orange or something like that. You can run around when you have nothing to do and tease him often. Compared with those pets, the leopard gecko is very worry-free.

Even sometimes, when you catch it and play with it, it looks disgusted. They don’t really want to interact with you. They are forced to open their business, okay?

At this point, in fact, everyone understands how to judge whether a leopard-print gecko is healthy. Whether a gecko is healthy depends on just a few aspects.

The body shape is normal, the tail is plump, the skin is shiny, the skin is shed normally, the food is normal, and the feces is normal. In this state, there is basically no big problem for a leopard gecko.

If on the contrary, the tail becomes as thin as a toothpick, the skin is old and stuck after shedding, the skin is dull with plaques or ulcers, you don’t eat for a long time, or you vomit after eating something, your feces is thin and watery, or it is watery and unformed, or It's just green stool. I feel listless and always sleep every day.

If two of the above situations occur at the same time, attention must be paid. If Sanyo appears at the same time, , then you need to find out the cause. If possible, you can do a stool test. This kind of gecko really has a big problem.

In short, to judge whether a leopard gecko is healthy or not, you must make a comprehensive judgment and never rush to a conclusion based on a single abnormality.
