My original leo, Dango, has been having eating problems for about a month and a half now. She is eating very sporadically and has lost weight which worries me greatly. I'm trying different cage setups, temperature setups, and also rotating the feeders I'm offering as well as keeping a small dish of mealworms in her cage in case she gets hungry (although it seems like the sides are a little tall and the movement in the bowl doesn't get her attention from what I've seen).
When I put down feeders in front of her though she usually looks at them and then turns her head away a couple degrees and closes her eyes. What kind of reaction is that? What does it mean? :main_lipsrsealed: I feel like maybe she's just annoyed?
Although she's lost weight she seems alert and only slightly less active than normal. She has jumped at the few waxworms I've tried, although because of the addictive nature I've read that they have I am not offering that to her often because I don't want her to get used to them.
Anyone have any insight into the eye-closing snub she's giving mealworms and silkworms I offer based on the background info? Not sure if this could be related to any seasonal breeding instincts they have :main_robin: My other leo has also decreased her eating a bit, but she remains plump.
