Question
I bought a baby albino leopard gecko about 3 months ago. She ate fine for the first month but hasn't eaten since. She still drinks water and is very active at night. Any suggestions on what to do would be greatly appreciated.  -alyssa

Answer
Hello Alyssa,

Do you have any pictures of your baby gecko for me?  How does her tail look, is it still fat or is she losing weight?
What type of setup do you have for her currently?  Are you using an undertank heater along with an overhead basking bulb as well?  She does need a hot spot of around 88-90 with a cooler end of around 78-82 or so.  
Do you have any pictures of his tank setup for me too?
What foods are you offering him?
If she still is not eating you may need to get some chicken, turkey or beef baby food & use a plastic dropper or syringe to feed her by dropping it onto the end of her nose.  They usually love the flavor so she should willingly lick the food off of the end of her nose.
