I just got a leopard gecko 4 days ago from Pet Supplies Plus. The stupid worked of course picked it up by the tail to put it in the container for me to take it home and the poor guy squealed. After I got home I let him out and let him adjust to his new environment. (I’m not sure what the sex is, but I’m just going to say guy to make it easier…) He has pooped twice and it’s been watery and almost seedy like a bird poop. Is that normal? He seems to have somewhat of an appetite. He’s interested in the gut loaded meal worms I feed him and once in a while he eats them. He only eats one at a time when he does eat them, but a few hours later I find them thrown up half digested in the cage. The temperature is fine in the tank. I tried dusting the gut loaded meal worms with the calcium supplement but it smells like fake banana and I think it turns him off from them. He won’t even go after those, so I’ve just been trying regular meal worms but he’s still throwing them up. Any suggestions? I have slate in the bottom of the cage, clean water is available, he has a moist warm hut and a dry cooler hut to stay in. Everything is just how it should be for him but he’s not very healthy. It might just be stress but I’m worried. He sleeps all the time and just likes to hide in the corners of his huts, which I realize is pretty normal because they’re nocturnal and not social creatures. He doesn’t mind crawling onto my hand and isn’t scared. I just need help. I even tried catching tiny wild crickets but he didn’t want anything to do with them. Any suggestions? No I am not taking him to a vet, and I can’t try crickets because I’m in a dorm at college and we aren’t even supposed to have any pets but freshwater fish. I can’t go to the store every few days to get fresh crickets because it’s like 20 minutes away. This is getting a little ridiculous and I almost wish I never got him. They’re supposed to be simple to take care of. Like my beta fish haha. But PLEASE help and quickly!
Please. Suggestions would be so helpful.
Respone to "Answers": The gecko was on sand at the pet store and I’m not sure what it was fed as there was no live insects in the tank when I got him and the store employee did not know. I am not abusing my gecko thank you very much. I am doing all that I can to make sure he tries to get better. There is no vet anywhere near here to take him to. If people can’t care for babies, then why would they sell them? I’m assuming that they just sold him too early. He is so small… I made care when I caught the wild crickets to make sure they were small and found away from roads and fields where pesticides were used. I’m not a retard. Many breeders say online that they feed their geckos a staple diet of mealworms so I’m not too concerned that is the issue.
Oh and his stomach isn’t bloated at all like he is impacted and he’s kept down a few meal worms but throws the majority of them up btw.

I have a friend that is starting a wood working business. I would have him make something with lots of hide outs. Maybe even one for my frog. Do not say anything about buying wood that is in aquarium shops. That is too expensive. So, are there any types of wood that are harmful to fish and\ or frogs? Thanks!

When i buy crickets they always place a piece of egg crate in the bag…why is that

He is a Quaker parrot that’s only 6 months old. he doesn’t nod his head to me although when someone else comes over to pet him while he is in his cage he starts nodding his head and if you try to pet him he will start biting them. What does it mean when parrots nod there heads like that?

help

I am going to be traveling with my dog and the state requires a health certificate, Does anyone know what this might cost? I’ll have to get an exam/check up for my dog then get a health certificate. Thanks!

My dog got into a small fight last night with another dog at our house and this morning her eye was swollen and almost shut. It has pusslike stuff draining and I don’t know what to clean it with or apply to it.
I will take her to the vet in the morning, but it is late right now and it was not swollen this morning when I left, but by the time I get home the vet is closed. I won’t take a chance on it, but I just want to ease her pain until the morning and clean it the best I can until I can call the vet tomorrow

I have looked everywhere! Craft stores, office supply stores,
Wal-Mart, Target and I can’t find them anywhere. I know I can get them from the internet, but I’d rather find a store that carries them.

Yesterday, I brought my old fish tank out of the basement of my house and rinsed it off. I didn’t use soap or anything, just water and my hands. Then I put tap water in it, and let it sit for several hours. While the tank was sitting in my room, I was out getting fish and fish supplies. That took about 4 hours. I came home, rinsed off the gravel I just bought, and put in in the tank. Then I put the air pump and bubble stick in, and put the fish bags in the water (the fish were still in the bags the pet store put them in). Then I let those sit for about 1 1/2 hours. Then I put the fish in the tank and gave them some fish food…which they didn’t seem to eat. And then I turned off the lights and went to bed, after adjusting the bubble stick several times because it keeps floating up or creating a strong current.

Today, I boiled some rocks and put them in the tank. I also fed my fish…but they still don’t seem to eat…although one of the goldfish occasionally puts a piece in its mouth and then spits it out.

Anyway, I did most of the stuff the right way, right? I have a five gallon tank and three fish that aren’t longer than an inch and a half.
I have a black moor, a fantail goldfish, and an emerald cory catfish. And I fed them goldfish food. I know the catfish isn’t really supposed to be in there, since it’s tropical and probably doesn’t eat goldfish food, so I was going to move it anyway. -.-
