Waxie addict?
Tried this in the feeder section first but not much luck, seems to be more traffic here
I'm currently experiencing, or think I'm experiencing. An addicted leo.
A few weeks back I noticed my Leo wasn't eating normal, if anything at all. Also I notice there wasn't any fresh poop laying around either. I started to worry, thinking the worst, that's around the time I joined this forum. I did some searching and read the related threads which lead to the purchase of a digital thermometer (for more accurate reading) and a digital scales.
She hasn't lost or gained weight for the last 12days and the temps are spot on. She has now had 3 poops, all in the last week but they were extremely small compared to the usual.
I have two reasons why I think she may be addicted to wax worms;-
1st 2-4 weeks prior to the above statement she ate wax worms as her main source of food for the 3 weeks mentioned. ( totally my fault, I was aware they wernt all that good for her, but no idea they are as bad as I now know.)
2nd She still has an intrest for food. She snaps into "hunt" mode whenever she spots the pray, then just after realising what pray is on offer she turns her head at the meal and returns to what ever she wa doing.
This frustrates me! Mainly beacause if she is addicted to waxes then it's my fault, I know this and I hold my hand up.
What I'm asking is, What do I do next? How do I get her appetite back?
P.s she's 76 g has been everyday since I bouht he scales 2weeks ago, she's also around 6-7 years old
Thanks for you input
