OK let me update you guys/girls. Remember ally wasnt eating. So I was told to buy some turkey baby food. So I did. Mixed a little of her miner-all in and have struggiling wit her to eat even that. Its a constint fight. I feed her with a syringe and she licks a little off her nose then she wipes the rest on me. I have been feed her like this for a few days, but she is still dropping the weight. Im scared now. She weighed 5.5 now shes at 4.8 and thats with me trying to feed her every few hours. Im still trying to have her eat a cricket/silkworms/mealworms, anything, and she wont. I hear the albino when they are little are very picky eaters, is this true. And what else can I try to make her eat. I did the same thing raising my male and he is flourishing like nothing, and a very healthy eater, and getting longer/fatter each day. What am i doing wrong?

...but the vet said she was fine???. If she continues to lose wieght and still refuses to eat, you may have to start "forcefeeding" her bug slurries every other night. When my leo stopped eating for a month, I started to feed him by taking a mealworm and aggrivating him enough for him to open his mouth in protest and would pop the mealie in far enough to trigger the chewing and swallowing response. Mind you, it is a stressful way of assisted feeding but he came around eventually. You could try doing this with her, only with the syringe full of formula. Good luck with her!!!
