baby stopped eating!?

[loveleos_07]

Hello everyone,

My baby that is about 2-3 monthes old has stopped eating! She hasn't lost weight, i weigh her once a week (6-7g). But she wont eat. She is out running around and looks at me, and when I pick her up she squirms and hisses, so she has energy! Any advice? Bermation?

We need a lot more info. Can you describe everything about your enclosure (what you have, temps, etc) plus what you are feeding?

[/IMG]Hello,

Powder is in a 10 gallon tank with a UTH. Tank temps are 91-92 degrees on warm end and 77-83 on cool. She has two hides and a moist hide. She is fed crickets only. I have tried wax worms and she hates them ( I know weird), and she wont eat mealies. I am going to get some silkworms soon. I have had her for about a month. I messed up her cage temps when I moved her about the time she stopped eating. She is apperently eating a small amount because she poos. Her poo 2 days ago was a little diareah like. but today I found some pretty firm poo. She is very energetic and hates to be handled.She doesnt come out of her hide much though. She weighed 4 grams when I got her, and now is up to 6 but was at 7.

Shes only gained 3 grams BEFORE her weight loss in a month? Have you had her checked by a vet?

I think I found the problem

I was cleaning out cages tonight, and I notices my gecko was on the other side of her tank ...getting some heat from my BD tank. Somehow the Dimmer on the UTH shut down and her tank was only 79 in the hot spot. We will see if getting that adjusted works!

Can your leo see the bearded?

It doesn't seem very bad to me yet, I would try some mealworms and see if she eats those, sometimes mixing up their food sparks their interest to eat.

I would also think about getting at least a fecal done in the near future.

She may be able to see the Dragon, I will get some poster board and fix that!

I checked on her this morning, and for the first time she let me pick her up, so that isn't good.... I am going to mix up a batch of slurry, and try that...at least maybe I will get some poo for a fecal!

Thanks everyone

My baby leo is not eating at all now, and is loosing weight. I am giving her slurry twice a day, and I am trying to get some poo so I can get a fecal! Any advice??

I would consider taking her to a vet. Losing weight at her young age isn't good because she doesn't have any extra fat stored up. I would continue feeding her slurry to try to get a fecal, but I would also make a vet appointment...

JMHO,
