OK so no eating still!!!

[Timothy]

Ok my blazing blizzard will not eat, she's pooping, but im not seeing any mealworms disappear out of her bowl, she wont eat when i hand feed so im getting extremely worried, i'm wondering if i could try dabbing some baby food on her nose maybe she'd lick it off?

any suggestions.

mine is the same way right now. Maybe try a different prey item. Crickets are good at stimulating a feeding response.

How old/big is she???

She could be ovulating. Some female leos are known for not eating, or eating CONSIDERABLY less, when ovulating.

Ok, so here's an update....

She's not old enough to even sex yet, I just use the term she...She's maybe 2 months? I'm not really sure. She's young though.

I got her to eat a few mealworms about a week after I got her, since then nothing has stimulated her to eat. I've tried more mealworms, crickets, waxworms even, she just doesnt seem interested. She's getting really thin, so last night I took some chicken baby food mixed a little of my repcal herpivite in it and dabbed some on her nose for about 30 minutes she licked it off so I'm hoping that at least did something for her.

She was pooping normally but no poop this morning. She shed today, I just checked on her and she got it all off, theres a bit on her right foot but she's in her moist hide as I type this. I'm hoping that by consuming her excess skin she'll get some nutrients or just something in her tummy.

She licks out of her calcium bowl, I've witnessed that quite a few times so I thought of trying that slurry by GGG.

Regardless I'm worried about her, just some more info...She's been active alot exploring her cage and whatnot so she's not lethargic, just not eating well....her tail is getting thin. I'll try to get a pic up soon.

Any input/advice/Positive moral boost posts would be appreciated.

Thanks, Tim.
