geckocrazy Jan 25, 2004 01:42 AM

my leos just stopped eating recently.(for 6or7 days) the temp is the same. the only thing ive done differently is change substrate to tile, but that was 7or8 days ago. they arent eating or pooping. could it be cause i always have crickets in there and there stressing out from that? What could it be? any help is greatly apprecaited.

Umm...Short answer, yes.

Long answer,

Don't leave uneaten crickets in the tank for over an hour. Don't add too many in on that note, either. I usually drop 2 to 3 in at a time. If they're gone, I'll put one more, and see how it goes from there. I've found that if I leave a few crickets in the tank, they wont eat at all. Then, when I take them out and wait 24 hours, they eat like they've never seen crickets before.

Sometimes all it takes is a different tank set up to through them off alittle...... I would not worry too much about it yet...... Also the temps may have changed since to put tiles in...... Make sure everything is the same as it was before the tile.....
