My brother is away at his Navy A shool and left us the care of his two geckos. We separated them today due to one's obsessive eating habits, but I still don't know what to do. When I look at the skinny gecko all I want to do is cry. It's so skinny. What can I do besides take it to the vet? Any suggestions on feeding and special caring for it?

seperate them into two cages
or put a cardboard divider down the middle and feed the skinny one.

My gecko had paricte in it if the vet thinks that they will give you neetles to inject the food with
then you might haft to force feed (force feeding tool a popiscel stick with medical tape on the end so it wont get splinters or heart it teeth)
hope it get better

What kind of geckos are these? That will affect what kind of food they will enjoy. If it is a crested or gargoyle gecko, try baby food. You can even mix some calcium dust in with it for an extra boost since the little one is malnourished.

Isolate the skinny one, and try feeding it alone. I assume your feeding crickets? These geckos are so frail.Good luck.
