Hello everyone.
Is it normal for Engimas needing to be hand-fed? I'm talking about the ones not exhibiting much of the syndrome.
One of my female enigmas has mealworms available all the time in a dish and never goes there to eat them, but when I shake them with some feeding tongs in front of her she eventually takes them. That's how she has been eating so far. Should I stop hand-feeding her and let her go for a while without eating until she learns on her own or just keep doing it manually? I'm talking about an enigma that doesn't exhibit much of the syndrome, for example she never spins or chases her tail, only rarely stargazes, although a breeder familiar with geckos would notice the slight difference in walking typical of any enigma out there. Otherwise she's active, exploratory and alert. Sheds great on her own only in a few minutes.
