Hey, guys!
So, I've posted about this in the past, but it's been a while, so I'm wondering if it's okay that my female leo hasn't had any crickets in over a year...
The last time she's had crickets was around July of 2013. She stopped eating them around the time I left for a week-long vacation. I had a friend stop by to feed her twice while I was gone, but when I returned, none of the crickets or mealworms had been eaten. In the weeks after, I still offered crickets, but they went unnoticed. She has been on a diet of mealworms & the occasional wax worms ever since. Is this okay? I have tried a few months ago to offer crickets again, but she still just ignores them. Is it okay that the crickets are no longer a part of her diet, or should I continue to offer them until she gives in? (NOTE: I leave a bottle cap full of Repashy in her tank at all times, so extra supplementation is not an issue.) She's always been a picky eater, but this is the longest she's gone without crickets.
Thanks in advance, everyone! :main_thumbsup:
