New leo not eating..

kavanaugh_j Dec 16, 2003 01:30 AM

I've had my leo since last Thursday. The first few days he ate a few crickets everyday...but now he won't even look at them. The odd time he'll get into his regular attack mode but then lose interest. I can't get mealies until Saturday to try him on that...Anyone have any suggestions, or anything? Thanks

Make sure the crickets are the right size for him, of which I'm sure you did. Also, if he is in a ten gallon tank and has to chase the crickets all over it, he may just get tired of trying to catch one in all that space since he is just a little guy. Try putting him in a smaller container when you feed him and then when it seems like he is done, put him back in his normal tank. Maybe it will help.
