She´s 10 days today.. She poop´d & shed on day 2-3.. She is very, very shy.. I guess I´ll wait & keep trying.. Sooner or later she will get hungry..

That young u need it to eat, there is no fat reserves to live off of. the first time i feed all my hatchlings i pop the head off a cricket and touch the hatchlings lips. they will usually lick it and then get that funny look and snap it up. sometimes they dont take to hunting but eat by me holding a squirming cricket in front of them. u can use mealies to, i found they like crickets much better and start using mealies after they are eating good. have u tried anything like this yet

She´s very shy.. When I try to feed her (i usually use tweezers, but she just run away & hides) I had no problems with the other juveniles.. I wave the crickets or mealworms infront of them, but she run away.. (

I tried for several days to feed her crickets and mini mealies, but she refused them both. Then I tried dropping a small waxworm in and she gobbled it up. I don't know why that got her attention so well, but she has been eating anything she can get in her mouth ever since.

Yes! ) Now she´s eating.. I had to take her up, hold her & rub the mealie on her mouth.. Then she understood.. She ate 3 mealies & 2 crickets.. & tried to take my finger.. hehehe )

Thanks for everyones help!
