DEFINITELY NOT! They both may be males or females (same sex animals like repitles aren't quite so good together) which would stimulate aggression between one another for territory or so on and would fight, possibly to death. If you aren't kidding and the eyes are actually gone, they may be prone to infections and you might will want to get them some assistance and put them in seperate cages.

Generally skimming, nothing I've found suggests it's normal. How'd they even manage to do it? Did you see them eating the eyes?

---

that is not normal do you not feed them or is one a female are they males? somtimes that matters they might be wanting a female so separate them.

Weird

Are you sure they ate each others eyes out? Did you see this happen? That would be unusual behavior for most geckos. What type of geckos are they? Are the eyelids closed and swollen? What type of substrate do you have them on? Just curious, because if you have them on a sand substrate, super common for them to get sand in their eyes and get infected, which then their eyes become swollen shut and even if you try to open their eyes (which you shouldnt, only an experienced vet should do that) it is difficult to see the actual eyeball. You should take them to a vet. Keep us posted, good luck!

omg i cant imagine the reason they did that

---

you might not be feeding them enough. What kind are they

---

That probably isn't normal, seeing as when you go to a pet shop and see geckos you very rarely see any with their eyes missing.

They're probably territorial or just hate each other. I recommend you seperate them.

This not normal. Definately take them to the vet or a store that specializes in reptiles, not a Petco or PetSmart, but an actual reptile place or contact your local zoo and ask to speak to the reptile area.
