Ok so heres the deal.My 9 month old leo has been doing fine until a few weeks ago.But now she literally stopped eating.I dont know why, she looks healthy,tail nice and plump,colours good.I dont know what the problem is!
Do any of you know whats going on?
Or is it 1 of thoes phases where they stop eating completely for a while then get back to it?(she also hasnt been pooping either.Nothing goes in,nothing comes out)

That's around the age that a lot of females start ovulating so that could certainly be the reason if there haven't been any environmental changes. Have you tried offering a different kind of feeder? Are all of her cage temps correct?

Devon,

I recently ran into that problem as well, but mine was all my females going on and off of food for a month. Check her belly i bet you if you have not changed anything else you will see little pinkish white balls in her belly. No fear it's nature at it's finest. Keep offering food she'll get hungry and eat.

Umm no she's still on mealies but i offer her butter's once in a while.
Yes her temps are perfectly fine.So i bet she's ovulating.
