Leucifer isn't eating...

[katemonsterxo]

he ate about 6 days ago, which was when i read somewhere online that wax worms can be a staple diet... (another thing i should have just looked up here, since 99.9% of google's answers are wrong)... well i've been monitoring their weight, and this is how it looks

7/5 - 66.0 grams
7/8 - (the day before he stopped eating) 66.9 grams
7/11 - 67.8 grams
7/14 - 66.0 grams

so he's losing weight, but not enough to be that worried yet (even though i am terribly worried anyway)

Have you tried the small superworms from Mulberry Farms?

Superworms are tempting for even finicky leos. The huge supers can be intimidating for some but the small ones go down easy and are very active. Try them. The small size is something new and a good choice for small leos too.

true, thank you, i should be able to order them tomorrow. but in the meantime... i just weighed him today and he lost 1.2 grams from two days ago... i'm getting worried now.

Is he near any females?

i didnt have a separator between him and bella's (15 gram) cages until yesterday.. do you think that was stressing him out?

Sometimes if males can smell females around they get a little distracted from eating. You could try moving him across the room, or even better, into a different room to rule that out.
