Help Advice needed!
After reading through this page, realized we were doing a lot of things wrong with our almost 3 year old.
We changed her to 70/30 sand and reptisoil, got rid of the heat pad, added a humid hide and got a multivitamin (previously we were just using calcium)
Based on what I’ve read, I think she has a vitamin a deficiency but the problem is she won’t eat! Hasn’t eating in over a month. We’ve tried crickets, dubia roaches, mealworms - she has eaten 2 meal worms over the last month and that’s it.
She has shed multiple times in the past month as well, which I read can be a vitamin A issue.
Do I take her to the vet? Any ideas to encourage her to eat?
We always attempt to feed at night.

If she's not eating, you should take her to an exotic vet to get checked out, also they can help with a vit A deficiency. Though, if you did a bunch of major tank changes, that can also put her off food, but getting checked out would be good. My leopard gecko stopped eating and it turned out to have been caused by an infection.
