just saw your post about your wee gecko. i went on to catch up with white phantom.

i dont know much about geckos, but when amanda had one that couldnt eat she fed her with tweezers. just watch the crickets don't bite her mouth as she takes them.
also i believe if you have to help them with shed, the skin is very delicate and the cotton bud and the skin needs to be really wet. maybe someone who knows more can help here, but im just saying what she did with hers. i think also a few mealies and waxies does help with weight.

Ok don't take this the wrong way but have you got his proper requirements?? heating,housing ect??? For shedding and feeding probs maybe he might be dehydrated calcium never hurts i give mine a product called bone aid it's great stuff also a bath wouldn't hurt aswell Now feeding how are you feeding him are ya using calcium powder?? or what type of live food are you using?? As they can be a bit picky He may eat meal worms they aint good for four him but will give him weight as there very fattening

think he is trying to get weight on johonny, but the wee thing, which he rescued, is having trouble opening her mouth. dont know if this has to do with shed or not.
she may take some waxes and mealies off tweezers though. or some really small crickets. and i agree he must get some calcium down her.
