My stubborn leo..

[JuliaxxGracy]

Hi guys. So one of my female Leos just decided she didn't want to eat crickets anymore. The first week I had her she was fine and went after them but now she completely ignores them! But if I put mealworms in a dish she's right up there gobbling them down. I've tried everything. Feeding her in a separate tank, hand feeding, going 2 nights with no mealworms and she still won't eat crickets! Help????

If she eats mealworms I'd just go with it. They're easier and not noisy...(sorry I'm a cricket hater!)...haha. It could be she's just getting fat and lazy and doesn't want to do the work to catch them? Do you have a picture of her?

agreed. iv found that mine go through stages of liking certain foods. at the moment ones not eating atall, one only eats mealworms, ones only eating small locusts and ones eating medium locusts and another only eats adult winged locusts. so i have to make sure iv got a bit of every thing lol

They're so picky! Meh!

I attatched the photos of all my leos. The stubborn one is the orange one with no pattern except her tail.

There's two single pictures of that one, one normal and one when she's about to shed.

Just go with mealworms they're way better than crickets!
