First off, how old is your gecko? I found that when I first got mine and they were young they ate a lot more than they do now that they are older. Also, what are you feeding her. I know there are many different things you can feed a gecko, but I found that crickets with calcium powder on them is the best. Also, I don't know what you have lining the bottom of the cage, but I found that calsi-sand from the pet store is the best for them. It also aids in their digestion. Just like people geckos change as they grow and so do their eating habits, so as long as she is eating don't be completely alarmed yet. I have owned 3 geckos for 7 years and they have gone through many different phases. Also, don't be too alarmed if she seems to go a little bit of time between meals. Gecko's store food in their tails and can go a few days without food and live on what they store. Your gecko may just be growing up and changing and that's ok. When you first get them they are not sure when they will eat next, so they tend to gord themselves. When they learn that they are loved and will be fed regularly, they then to slow down and take their time with their food.

It might be mating season and she doesnt want to eat alot. If this keeps hapening you might want to contact a vet.

your gecko may have stopped eating because of temperature drop or parasitical problems or maybe he just got lazy on eating on his own.

she could be moulting, and uncomfortable, or she could be ready to lay eggs, or she justmay not be as hungry this time of year.
