Hello

Try bumping up your temperatures some. 22C is a bit low for maintenance time (although it's okay if you're giving them a down time) and 26C is a tad low for a hot spot. Try 26C for the ambient temp and 28C for the hot spot and see if that makes a difference. Also, cerats are known for going long periods between feeds since they are sedentary creatures that are opportunistic feeders. So don't worry too much. Mine always fed a lot during the spring and fall here, but they were very sporadic feeders during the summer and winter months. Shoot me an email if you want to chat about them. squamigers@aol.com
