Hi all...

I have something new for you.  If you'll remember, I'm having a few
Leopard Geckos who aren't eating for me.  This problem has lasted several
months and they are losing more weight than they should be.  I found
someone locally who I formerly worked in reptiles with to recommend a
local vet for reptiles.  She said she could not recommend one locally but
asked me the problem as maybe she could help since she did have
experience in Leopard Geckos.  

As with you all, she couldn't put her finger on the problem. She did
recommend force feeding a pinkie to that one big male who is losing so
much weight.  It has been my experience in the past that force feeding
them stresses them more than its worth.  How do you all feel about that
in this situation?

She also said something else interesting. She suggested that I add some
fruit to all my gecko's diets.  She suggested Apricot baby food in a
small dish.  She said they will lick it as they need it.  She claims that
although scarce in the desert, in the wild Leopard Geckos will eat some
fruit as they can find it. 

What do you all think of this theory and practice?  I have never heard of
Leopard Geckos eating fruit at all.

Thanks as always...
