hooked on waxies!!

[loveleos_07]

hey guys,

I have a 2 year old leo that wont eat. He isn't dropping grams, so it may just be nothing. The last time he ate a significant amount it was wax worms. He could possibly be hooked on them. Any adivce?

he might be hooked. I would try a wax worm and try to trick him out by putting a meal worm right in front of him real quick. My leo was hooked but i tricked him and now he is back to eating meal worms.

I had a problem similar to yours recently with one of my female leos, what I did is just wait. She was being fussy and not taking the cricks, so I just offered them each feeding intill she finally started taking them again. they will get hungry enough and eat again.

What did you do to make her switch?

Well,

I just covered the crix in calcium every night and after about 5 nights of not eating he just started eating like crazy, I think he just got hungry!
