Morning gang...I need some advice
Lucy isnt eating well at all. She only seems to be interested in mealie worms once every few days and thats if I drop them in front of her to eat. Even at that she may only eat 1 or 2.
She doesnt seem interested in crickets at all. Her activity level seems normal. I have recently rearranged her tank (about 3 days ago) which as I understand can stress them out sometimes. Winter is upon us and the temps in the house are cooler now. I have her UTH and a red basking light up top to keep her warm. I have also out a towel over most of her tank to hold the heat in.
I know she isnt impacted. I use reptile carpet and I have looked at her belly to make sure a mealie hasnt got her impacted or anything.
Do Leo's eat less during this time of the year?
I have had her since July--maybe she just isnt interested in eating every day now that she is getting bigger?
I dont really want to get her in the habit of me "feeding" her...dropping worms in front of her but I also dont want her to not eat either.
Thoughts?
