Hi Liz,
It is hard
to give advise, when we do not know how you are keeping your animal. Many
things can cause a gecko not to eat. If your gecko has not been eating
normally since December, I think it is time to have a competent reptile
veterinarian examine your gecko. A fecal sample would be useful if you
can acquire one. The vet can look for parasites doing a fecal exam. An
acid fast stain on feces to look for crypotosporidia would also be a good
test to have done.
