I suggest you get a regular vet to do a fecal sample from this gecko and the
others. Hopefully the separation was done sooner rather than later, when one
starts losing weight it should be separated right away. You can try soaking this
gecko in Pedialyte or Ensure if you get those in the UK, they are electrolyte
replacement type liquids. I'm sure you can get Gatorade if you can't get the
former. Also get a syringe, take out the needle, and use that to feed the gecko.
My favorite is a ground up dog food and cricket or mealworm mix. Just put it all
in the blender with a little water and you're set!
Good luck!
