I haven't seen Toon eat in at least 3 or 4 days. I've been following threads covering this topic and trying not to get paranoid, but I thought I'd use the questionnaire so other members can get the whole picture and maybe tell me if I'm missing something or doing something wrong, etc.
First I want to mention that I weighed her for the first time today. She is 35 grams and about 7" long. Anyways, here's the whole thing:
About your leo:
- Sex Female (at least I'm pretty sure)
- Age & Weight Unsure of exact age; bought her in February and other forum members said they thought maybe 2 or 3 months based on her pics. She weighs 35 grams and is about 7" long
- How long have you owned your leo Since Feb. 2, 2011
- Where was he/she obtained (ex. Pet store, breeder, wild caught, friend) Chain pet store (Petco)
A) Health/History
- How often do you handle your leo 2 or 3 times per day for about 5 or 10 minutes; always in the evening after she wakes up
- Is your leo acting any different today? If so how does he/she normally act which differs from now. Doesn't seem to be acting very different lately
- Has he/she had any problems in the past, if so please describe. No health issues
B) Fecals
- Describe (look any different than normal) No difference noted; brown "log" with white tip
- When was the last time he/she went Last night
C) Problem
- Please briefly describe the problem and how long it has been going on I have not seen her eat in the last 3 or 4 days; if she is eating it's not very much because I have had to remove a lot of feeders. She has slowed down a little with the eating as she gets older but I've always seen her eat at least a few bugs every night until now. She used to poop every day, now it's every 2 or 3 days. She is also in her moist hide almost all day for the last few days, then comes out to roam the tank and bask over her UTH at night--not sure if this is anything significant or not. She used to only spend a couple hours here and there in her moist hide
Housing:
A) Enclosure
- Size 15 gal, 24x12x13
- Type (ex. glass tank) Glass MartyMade front access sliding door vivarium
- Type of substrate Paper--brown paper lawn bag, specifically
- Hides, how many, what kind 2 brown Exo Terra caves, 1 on each side with an Exo Terra "snake cave" in the center for a moist hide (paper towel); all size medium
B) Heating
- Heat source UTH
- Cage temps (hot side, cool side) hot side maintained at 90 to 92 degrees; cool side is room temp of about 70 to 72
- Method of regulating heat source Zoo Med ReptiTemp 500R
- What are you using to measure your temps small black Zilla digital probe thermometer
- Do you have any lights (describe) no lights
C) Cage mates
- How many (males, females) no cage mates
- Describe health, or previous problems
Describe Diet:
A) Typical diet
- What you're feeding (how often, how much) Every night; when she was eating, she'd take maybe 4 or 5 crickets, 2 or 3 dubias, and 2 or 3 mealies, though she stopped eating mealies almost entirely about 1 and 1/2 months or so ago
- How are you feeding (hand fed, left in dish, ect) Mealies are kept in a dish; crickets and roaches are dropped in, but I occasioinally will "hand feed" her the roaches using a small cup that she can stick her head into
B) Supplements (describe how often)
- What vitamin/minerals are you using (list brands) I dust feeders with Repashy Calcium Plus(the newest formula) daily; I keep a bowl of Zoo Med ReptiCalcium w/o D3 in a bowl in the tank at all times
- What are you gut loading food with Fluker's Cricket Diet, Cricket Quencher, and Orange Cubes; dubia roaches come packaged with dry dog food (I think that's what it is, anyways--smells like it)
Anyways, any help is appreciated.
