Check the enclosure temperatures first. If it is too cold, Coco will not eat. Low temps can affect appetite and digestion in reptiles. After proper temps are confirmed, check in and around the mouth. Look for redness, swelling, bleeding or discharge. If you see anything suspicious, have Coco physically examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating reptiles. Offer smaller than usual prey or something different to stimulate the appetite. Mealworms, dubia roaches or waxworms are fine to feed. Be sure to gut load them for 24 hours prior to offering. A commercial gecko diet should also be made available. You can find one in the reptile section of any pet store. If constipation is a concern, a good soak in a warm 50/50 solution of water and unflavored PediaLyte while gently massaging the abdomen (front to back) may stimulate defecation.
