Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Great info thanx! Replaced the UV bulb end of last month so can't be that, and has gone off crickets now so feed him/her locusts he/she did seem to like them until he/she lost his/her appetite. And tempurature is hot. I will have to get a fecal check done by a vet as this has not been done yet, had spent ages trying to find a reptile vet near me but now know and will do this! I am concerned now as this is my first lizard and he/she is like my baby!!! Thanx for the info on sexing, it is great will check when I get home. Will let you know how I get on!
Thanx again for all the info! I did try posting a message on another forum a little while ago for something else but it was pants and no 1 replied!

I also suggest don't putting in too much at once. If they are overwhelmed, the sight of food can make them eaven less interested.

Drop the food from above, and don't make a lot of commotion while doing this. Sometime, the sudden drop of an insect can really trigger some interest.

Try a variety...try large mealworms or superworms, crickets, flying moths (really good).

Give him some natural sunlight.

Just a few suggestions.

I just realized I missed your first post.

Is he getting noticably thinner?

Just wondering if you know where he came from, sometimes wc's give you problems as far as eating.

They have to be coaxed a bit with good things to entice them, as Johneee said, they love moths. Stimulates them watching it flutter around.

Some of mine I have wc's , I had to gentley open their mouth in "extreme cases" where they were thin and refused food, and put the food in.

Also treating for worms, if ya know they were wild caught.

Sure hope your little guys gets back into the swing of things real soon.
