Proper diet?

[cook75]

Thanks for your response. We're quite anxious over here... It's not uncommon for her to not want to eat? I mean from the day we got her she ate like a champ but I guess every situation could be different huh? She did come out to explore tonight which has been the case obviously at night... So atleast there is some normal behavior going on.

Simple things as moving their furniture around can make them a little skittish and refuse to eat for a few days or even leave their hides. Just keep trying daily.

Okay thanks a lot. Hopefully tomorrow I'll have some good news to post. I can't wait to get those phoenix worms so we can be done with the mealworms finally! We don't want to worry about impaction. Any recommendation as to what specific brands/names we should use to accompany the repashy plus? Thanks in advance!

I am guessing you mean for MV's. I use Herptivite.

Its not uncommon at all for leo's to become stressed after change, and lack of appetite is one sympton. Like cook said just keep offering daily. I personally use the exo-terra multivitamin for reptiles and amphibians along with just plain calcium without ph in tank.

The weird thing is, she ate well the first couple of days after the new tank. Granted, we did change a couple things after a couple days just to make things look better so maybe that did it. Who knows... I just want her to start eating again! urrrr

Good news, after 2 days she ate 2 large crickets and 7 meal worms this morning. She acted more like her normal self and was more eager to hunt than the last couple days. Thanks for everyone's great help!
