well, have been a little mia for awhile due to everything that has been happening..but i thought sharing a little good news would be good :) ive been having a huge issue with my new male leopard gecko, mars. he hasnt been eating or pooping and he is very skinny. his old owner had taken him to the vet and he had a checkup but no fecal because there is no poop -.- so once i took him back and he hadnt changed, i listed him for free with a contract that the new owners have to take him to the vet and get a fecal done. because of my truck blowing up, i cannot afford it, period. not only has my engine seized and im buying a new one, my transmission is possibly gone too...and my truck is in too good of shape to buy a new worse shape vehicle for the same price.

but heres the good news! lastnight was the first night i ever saw mars eat, and he wasnt just nibbling, he was destroying the mealworms in my hand before they even got to his bowl! he was a beast! so, after 2/3 weeks of all urates, and only two boughts of diarrhea, he pooped this morning..and it was solid, no slimies, nothing, perfect. so if he keeps this up, i may keep him :) ill be keeping a record of his weight and seeing how much he gains these next couple of weeks.

any idea what could have been going on with him? the first week he did shed, but other than that, what would be the reason for the hunger strike and sudden appetite?
