Not eating

[Scott&Nikki]

Hey everyone. My leo has not eaten in about 3 weeks now. Her temps are normal, it doesnt look like she has lost any weight, and nothing else has changed. The last week or so, she hasnt even come out of her hide. A couple days ago I took her out and put some mealworms in my hand, but all she did was lick them and turn away. Does anyone have any ideas?

Same thing is going on w/ my male mack snow. I try to feed him but he lick the mealies / cricket and turn away. No weight been lost either, and he barely comes out of his hide.

try keeping your problem feeders at 85-90 for 3 days(without food)... then offer both mealies in a dish as well as a few live crickets. also make sure they have a nice sized MOIST hide, and see if that works:main_thumbsup:

she is at 91-92 and has a moist hide she never leaves. she always has mealworms and will not even come out of her hide for crickets. she watches them, but makes no attempt.

Scott, is she old enough to be ovulating??

 

[Scott&Nikki]

Hmm, shes probably about there. She is about 10 months. And deffinately big enough...

I am hainga similar problem with one of my females....But this has only gone on for about 6 days or so. Is a moist hide spot really need? I have never used one and my leos have done just fine....up until now with this female. The thing is, she is in a tank with an other female, which is smaller than her. The other female eats like there is no tomorrow; so I make sure I watch her and ensure she doesnt over eat.
