Leo's eating 4 days after pickup

[RagginOut]

Was a bit worried about the 4 females I picked up this past weekend as they wouldn't touch a thing. Put in a larger candy dish like I have been doing each night with about 11 supers in it. 10 were gone this morning, so that's a better sign. There's a ton more poop in their busy corner than their has been so it's clear more are eating. If only they didn't poop on the hotside so it wouldn't make that gross cooked poop smell

I just picked up a adult male raptor today and I'm wondering how long it's gonna be before he eats. He is housed by himself as he is my only gecko. I hope he eats soon he is skinny. I'm glad to hear that yours are eating..

Give it time I was more worried than I needed to be, for sure. I'm just putting 10 in every night now before lights out and there are anywhere between 1-4 left that weren't touched. I just take them out in the morning and put them back in to the gutload/storage box and don't feed them again til lights out.

He ate 3 super worms and a large cricket today. He also shed today and he ate that aswell. Today is the second day I had him so hopefully he will continue to eat.
I got him a dozen crickets and 2 dozen super worms. I put potatoe and carrot slices in with them to eat so they stay alive, hopefully..

Do you ever see your Leo drinking water? I've seen him do it once. He doesn't really mess with his water bowl at all. I don't want him to dehydrate. I keep his water in there so hopefully he drinks it.

Don't be surprised if he doesn't eat for a night or two after shedding.

They do drink, but you rarely see it.
