hello everyone. i have a young pair of patternless leopards and my male (who is only around 6 months old) isn't really eating. for the first couple months he wouldn't eat at all. now he will only eat maybe 2 crickets a week. we have tried mealworms but he won't eat them. is there anything i can do to encourage him to eat more?! thanx in advance. ~JQ

We need a bit more information before we can really help you out...

are they housed together or seperately?
What size tank?
What are the temps (highs and lows)?
What substrate?
How many hides?
What do you use for supplements?
Have you ever gottena fecal done on them?

I would recommend this: if they are housed together I would seperate them and allow the one that isn't eating some peace of mind. I would also get a fecal done immediately to tell if there are any parasites at play. Be sure not to handle him at all while you are waiting for an improvement, the less stress he endures, the better!

good luck!
