Hello all,
I'm a little worried 'bout one of my tokays i have 2 and for all of you guys with tokays know they love to eat so everytime iput crix in the tank they both go running to get some but for the last 2 feedings only one of them went after the crickets the one who doesn't eat just sits there on the wall doesn't even watch the crickets hes been fine since i got him he in a big tank with his partner hes about 6 inches long so is his partner logs plnats in the tank i'll post a pic after this all replies welcome

THANKS!!!!!

here it is

How big is that tank? I've noticed that tokays behave much differently in an 80 or a 100 gallon vs something thats 30 (which is what your tank looks to be). This is self explanitory...more room more activity. In any case, it seems to me that there are not enough hiding spots and he might feel stresed out. You can put in more plants or other pieces of cork (I assume thats what it is on the left). What are the temperatures in the tank? He might be a little cold. If the other tokay has been picking on him it may cause this too. Finally he might not just be hungry.

I suggest that you give them som UV-lighting and get som more plants in there so they can hide and feel secure. Maybe he´s a bit stressed and thats the reason why he stopped eating.
