Bearded Pygmy not eating

AshleyJ Apr 18, 2008 10:39 AM

My CB female Bearded Pygmy had been eating well for the first month I had her, then recently has stopped. The only change in her environment had been the addition of a new male tank mate, so last week I began housing the 2 seperately in case he's intimidating her too much or hogging all the food. Regardless, she has seemed disinterested in all food insects i've offered and has lost significant weight. Is there anything I can do to kick start her eating habits again?
Thanks!

are you dusting the food items with anything?

are you only feeding crickets? if so, i would change it up with small waxworms, large fruit flies and mini mealworms....

what is your misting schedule like?

has she been dewormed?

is she gravid?

more information about her and the tank will help us help you and her!!!
