Okay I apologize I just read your original post now. What exactly was it that you were trying to feed them that they were not eating. Did you try both live prey and fruit mashes? Force-feeding was not a good idea, if not done correctly it can choke the animal. All you had to do was place some mashed fruit (or baby food) on the tip of the snout. The gecko will then lick it off. This method is slower but much more effective and less stressful on the animal. Of course the fruit has to be properly supplemented with the right vitamins and protein. Mix some fruit (nectar fruits) and meat baby foods in a 2:1 ratio (fruit to meat). Hand feed through a syringe or spoon. Also did you force-feed the gecko before it had the seizure? Sorry for all the questions, just trying to figure what happened.
