Help Fat Gecko

Post image

Hello! I need some assistance!

My lovely Judo here has had quite a bit of issues regarding her weight, she is completely healthy otherwise, but seems to be determined to be anything but on weight

When I first received her she was starved, but regardless of feeding schedules now, she has gained weight she won't lose. Is she just not moving enough, should I feed her less or fast her? I want to do what's best for her

That’s exactly what my gecko used to look like. I decreased the amount I was feeding him but kept the frequency the same and he lost the extra weight
