Getting weight on my leo

[TTTT]

I got back from vacation today and bell albino leopard gecko seems thin.. the neighbor fed her for me but I think her tankmate, the super hypo tangerine, was taking all the food. So the tang will be in a seperate tank in a few hours and I was wondering how can I get some weight on my bell albino?

I know waxworms are very fattening, but also heard they can be addicting.. so should I feed her waxies or just feed her extra mealies every night?

I think it's safe to mix in a wax worm or two with every feeding until you see your gecko get some weight back.

I would also probably recomend raising them apart, the other could be bulying her or stressing her at some level.

Yeah, they are actually in different enclosures now.

I'll second the mixing of waxies and mealies, just try not to go overboard on the waxworms, one or 2 a day, she'll put the weight back on.

Ok.. I'll just mix in 2-3 waxies with her mealworms.

Thanks
