Female's tail is getting thin!!

Tolc101 Sep 13, 2003 11:08 AM

I have 4 leos and this one female that I have use to have the fattest tail of the whole bunch. Now her tail is getting noticably thinner. She won't eat the crix that are just hopping around in her tank. Her poop is fine so I don't think it is parasites. So I tried wax worms for the first time. she ate two but I don't want her hooked on wax worms b/c I know the danger of that, but that's all she ever eats. what does any one have any ideas?

I had the same problem. for two weeks she souldn't anything i put in the tank. The only thing i can tell you is to wait it out. a little more than a week ago she snaped out of it and started eating and she is eating really good now. The only advice i can give is keep trying to feed her at regular times with the mealworms or crickets.

What do you mean you haven't noticed anything in her stools?
