I had an idea...
I think about 50% of the threads I read on this site have to do with reptiles (mostly leopard geckos) that have stopped eating or refuse to eat...and most of the time, we give the same answers to every person that asks. Lately, there's been a SURGE of threads regarding anorexic reptiles.
I thought maybe there could be a "sticky" or some kind of link of information for people with reptiles that are not eating. I know there's one for Marcia's slurry, but I think this is a little different. Some things we always mention:
~Checking temps: surface and ambient
~Varied diet: crickets, mealies, waxies, silkies, roaches
~Other geckos in the tank/ competition for food
~Husbandry in general
~Adequate supplementation
I feel like a broken record every time I respond to a thread about an animal that isn't eating...what do you guys think? Good idea or not? Would anybody add anything to it?
Just thought i'd throw the idea on the table
