Hi again everyone, im still having trouble with zebady. he's still not eating properly,although he did shed his skin for the first time six days ago. since then he is hiding a lot and only had 2 wax worms and 3 size 3 crix. is this normal?

any advice welcome thanks

don worry just yet. it took one of my babies 2 weeks after it shed befor it even took one meal. just keep trying small crickets. they move around alot more, and atract the attention of the leo better.
good luck
nevin

Thanks for the advice Nevin,
I'll try that. Should I put about 10 crix in? If zebardy doesn't eat them after a couple of hours should I take them out and try again the next night?
Thanks again Lesley

First, double check that you have proper temps. Inadequate heat will affect appetite.

Second, try not to stress him out. Stress affects appetite as well. If he wants to hide a lot, let him hide. You may want to leave mealworms in a dish for him so he can come out and eat when no one's watching.

Thanks for the advice,
I've checked temps hot side average 90 cold side 75, is this alright? Great knews Zebady came out just now and had 2 wax worms. The pet shop told me not to feed meal worms to a baby as he might not bit heads properly.Is this correct? he is still avoiding the crix even though they are very small!!!!!!!!!! His tail is very thin I hope he will feed properly soon.
