Not eating?

ChamsbyCoinco Mar 10, 2008 09:45 AM

I have several Veileds that I have had for 6 months with no problems no losses. They are 7 to 10 months old. I had to move them from indoors to outdoors - inside a vented greenhouse (65 to 85 degrees). The lighting I'm using is Reptisun 10 UVB and Zoo Med Basking Spot Lamps for UVA 12 to 14 hours a day. They mainly have been eating gutloaded crickets (dusted with ReptoCal /D3 and Dragon Dust) along with superworms. They have been misted twice a day - more when it is warmer. They are offered romaine which a few of them seem to like. They are in the same (all screen) cages (each has their own cage) they have been in for the last 5 months. This past week I have had 3 males that have appeared to have lost their appetites. They still have been shedding on a regular basis. They have been basking and appear to be fine is it something I should be worried about yet?

Good News! They all have started eating again. Favoring Superworms over crickets but at least they are eating.
