Does anyone.... 
Does anyone find their Tokays are "picky eaters"?
I don’t personally have one, but was told by someone who does that they are picky eaters as the reason why the poor thing looked so starved.
Any input would be great, Thanks :)

Maybe, if they were wild caught and not adjusted to captivity yet. I have had my WC female for a month now and she will only eaten crickets while my other one (he is CB) eats superworms too. Neither will eat roaches, waxworms or pinkies.

Thanks for the reply Prettykttkat, I’m hoping the gecko I am referring too pulls threw ok. I suggested a vet visit, and passed along a few different care sheet, they all had the same basic care instructions, just from different sites.

Mine is captive bred, he’ll eat anything. i’m pretty sure most tokays that are wild caught have parasites which affect appetite

Just a little update, I felt so bad because there was no way I could talk any sense into the owner of the poor baby, so I went over with the intention of geckoknapping it and taking a trip to the vet, ( had even called the vet let her know we were coming in) But when I went to take it out of the tank, it didn’t move,..... I did bring it in to the vet anyways, they will dispose of it properly. My daughter was heart broken, she had hoped we could help it and that she would be able to claim it......
