Get a syringe and some baby food if gicko's can have veggies(green beens, peas, squash). I have had lots of lizards but not a gicko. Get gateraid. No Dies only plain or orange. Start feeding small amount half syringe full of each. Don'r over feed at first. If you can pull on it's skin and it doestn't go right back it is dehydrated so gateraid is most important. GOOD LUCK> This is a very slow, long process. Lizards take a long time to die when nagleted. Hope you will take the time it will need to save it...

feed him baby crickets, try also hand feeding him some leopard gecko diet (can buy it at petco or petsmart)- just put somme on like a spoon and then put the spoon on the gecko's nose and he will be forced to lick it off, keep doing that until u think he's eating okay.

Feed it a few wax worms it will help fatten it up. You should take it to a reptile vet asap. Someone like you or your mom should have stepped in and fed it. I know he won't be learning responsability but the animsl shouldn't suffer.

This is very serious so listen very closly. when you buy food hold it up to its mouth so it can eat and drink. If that doesnt work never let your brother have a pet again!!!!
