eating problem

rinoa05_1987 Dec 01, 2004 03:12 PM

hello all,
well my leo was eating mealworms for a few months and these past few weeks he has stopped. i thought it might be because he had to shed and last week he did, but since that shed (which was over a week ago) he has eaten three mealworms. my question is should i feed him superworms for a week and switch back to mealworms or what else. i cannot feed him crickets. i just can't have them in the house because they creep me out beyond belife. thanks for any suggestions.

How is his health otherwise? Does he have any poops? Are they solid or runny? Is he losing weight? Does he have a nice fat tail? What type of substrate do you have him on? Could he be impacted? Have you checked the heat in the tank to make sure he has a warm side of around 90*
