Hi Sonya ~
How long have they not been eating? I would return to the paper towel
substrate at this point because it is much easier to keep clean. Good to hear that
these three have been separated till you discover the source of their
difficulties.
Sounds like a visit to an exotic vet who specializes in reptiles might be in
order.
Just curious: What have you been gutloading your crickets or mealworms with?
If you have the geckos on sand, you should be using a feeding bowl for their
crickets and mealworms.
Congratulations on your success with the P grandis!!!
Elizabeth
