I have a picky eater of my Leops. I was unaware of the problem because she was being housed eith 3 other females. I was aware one day when I noticed symptoms of Metabolic Bone Loss. She is now by herself and the others will be shortly too. I've had to forcefeed her for the last month because she does not eat. The MBL has been treated and reversed, but she still does not eat. I've tried crickets, mealworms, giant mealworms. These haven't worked? Any suggestions?

Here are a few tricks that have worked for my picky eaters: Try freshly molted crickets and mealworms if you can find them. You could try de-legging the crix to slow them down a bit. Scenting your feeders with bug guts is worth a try also. I’ve read before that some leos get annoyed at the crix feelers, but none of mine seem to mind. You may need to hand feed her with tweezers, until she gets the hang of eating again. Best of luck!
