Ok so previously my Leo girl hasn't been eating from a possible ovulation. But not I have tried for the past week and see seems interested but nothing after that. She will shoot out of the hide and sometimes won't finish chasing the mealworm or if she hits it won't eat it just bites it and spits it back out. I did get her to eat 3 wax worms 2 days ago but that has been it for the past 3 weeks. I have tried crickets as well and she will shoot out but not finish the job of chasing it down and eating it. Is there anything else Leos prefer? Cost is not an issue! I want her eating ASAP

Certainly understand as I have two going
through the same thing.
They can maintain for quite a while as one
of mine went through the very same
eating thing, last season. Can be worry some.
Most will always eat wax worms, if nothing else.
Keep a bowl of plenty of fresh daily meal worms,
and you might try tipping the bowl in front of her
nose. Sometime all the worm activity will get them to
plunge into it for some.
I also try rubbing worm inners on the mouth.
They will lick it and some get stimulated to
start eating again.
Sounds as if she is at least eating a little.
Take care. Hj
