Question
my gecko as a scab on the end of her tail poss from a cricket bite. not eaten for 4 wks but drinks ok.still bright  and active,any ideas please what we can do,many thanks

Answer
Hello Kevin, it could be an infection. You should take him to a vet to get it looked at. Infections will sometimes stress them enough to stop their eating.

If you don't think this is the problem let me know a little more about your setup, substrate, heat, hides, etc.
So we can figure out whats wrong.

In any case your gecko should definitely be taken to the vet.

Good luck
