Female Gecko not eating

Hi. We have three leopard geckos; one male and two female. One of ours isn't eating... The male and one of the females are getting bigger and eating regularly, but the third one is a paranoid and frightened creature. I'm not sure how to circumvent the issue, any ideas would be welcome. It has not recently come to this, but at first we thought it was relocation that was causing her to not eat. It has been a couple weeks and she isn't getting any bigger and her tail is getting slightly thinner. The others are getting fatter and bigger. We also thought it was because she was about ready to shed that she wasn't eating, but she has already shed and still hasn't had anything to eat (that either of us have seen, anyway.)

Re: Female Gecko not eating

If she is not eating then she needs to be removed into her own cage.
Sometimes the stress of competing with others for food, water, and basking areas is too much for them.
Set her up on her own and hopefully things will reverse themselves. You can't leave her with the others or she will only get worse.

Re: Female Gecko not eating

I agree with Lace, she needs her own set up for now. How many hides do you have in the current tank? What are the temps?
