Not eating

football9755 Jun 12, 2008 09:15 PM

My two leopards were eating fine, 10ish mealworms a day, but now they have lost their appetites. Any suggestions what is going on or what I should do?

If they are adults, as far as I know they do not need to eat that much every day. I'd try feeding them every other day or a few times a week. If you were feeding them every day maybe they just got full, I'd say wait on feeding a couple days then try again.

If they are juveniles, they usually eat every day, but as they get older eat a bit less. If it has just been ones day I don't think it should be too bad. Don't know how long it should take you go get worried though, I've never had juvies.
