I'm a new owner - I got them in Sept. - one female and one male. They were about the same age but the female was a little larger.
They have both shed at least once but the female is growing nicely.  The male is getting a little scrawny.  They were living in the same
tank until recently and got along nicely.  Hung out together and everything!  I have seen them eat crickets and have to clean the tank
regularly so I know someone is eating!  Any clues why he might be getting skinny?  Anything I could try?

I have a Female that's a major food hog and a bit of a bully.
Sounds like you've already seperated them, if you haven't you should.
it's easiest to monitor what's going on by putting them by themselves on paper towel so you can see what's going in and whats coming out of each gecko.
Seperating them may solve the problem too. just have to wait and watch.

Also a male may sort of forget about feeding when he has a lady to make babies with, at least I know that my male (gecko) does  Roll Eyes
