my ambilobe is 8 months old and he not eating as well as he as been i feed him mostly crickets i live in the north east could the change in climate be causing this problem

well..there can be alot of reasons your panther is not eating. If you have only been feeding him crickets...he may be bored by the food. Try of variety of foods like Silkworms, Mealworms, hornworms, flies, and even roaches. I would try to feed him a different variety of foods before you jump to conclusions.

Questions like this always amaze me. Imagine that someone posts a note saying "my child isn't eating well. What should I do?'

The first response would be "get him/her to a doctor." Lack of appetite is a symptom and could have a million causes..... some serious, some not.

However, if you're going tyo ask a question like this (and this goes for all the novices out there asking any similar question) you need to at least give the basics of your husbandry. Lack of appetite could be due (among a million other things) to bad light, bad temps, bad hydration, hyper- or hypo-supplementation, stress fro inappropriate housing conditions, etc. etc. etc. At least tell us about your husbandry and we can try to rule out a few possibilities.

P.S. Sorry iof it sounds like I'm picking on you but we see 100 questions like this every week and it's really frustrating to not be able o give any info because the questioner has given us nothing to go on.
