hey guys
basically, i have had my little girl for over just 2 weeks and she really really hasnt ate much at all! im feeding her mealworms and little crickets, but recently we also got her some waxworms aswell yet she hasnt touched anything really. I think from the day we got her she has ate maybe 4/5 crickets, but this isnt much for a baby right?
i know alot of you guys say this is nothing to worry about, as they can go off food after moving about, but she is soooo tiny i cant help but worry! i just dont want her to suffer in any way!!
We have the temps just right, so that shouldnt be a problem and she is pooping (seen her doing so for the first time last night and near freaked out, didnt know what was happening lol)
the worms are sittin in the warm patch so hopefully they may catch her attention if they have more movement, and i put in extra crickets as well just incase she couldnt find them :main_rolleyes:
maybe would it be advisable for me to get a light for night time to help her find food easier? and also, i have heard puttin yoghurt on her nose should help encourage her to eat? should i try this? and then try dip a worm in it if she licks it off straigh away?
maybe i am freaking out, but damn i dont know how she isnt starving!!!
any help would be great!!
