my baby blizzard has many a problem

iluvblackfrancis May 16, 2003 11:16 PM

i just bought a baby blizzard from LLLreptile last weekend. it ate aggressivly for the 1st few nights, but within the last 3, it hasnt eaten at all, that i know of. at most maybe 2 crickets. it's already started losing weight, and when i hold it, it just lays down with its eyes closed. im so frustrated right now. maybe im feeding it too large of crickets, they're maybe a little bigger then its head. i had little crickets at first, but it ate larger crickets, so i figured what the hell. when i put the crickets in its cage everynight, it acts intrested at 1st, then gives up. it wont eat mealworms either. im probably gonna call them tomorrow, and see what to do. but i would really like your advice. i love this little guy, he's my first blizz and i dont want it to die. if you need any more info just ask, cos' thats all i can think to tell.

You probably scared the leo, and now it is disgusted with eating in general. Eventually, it should get hungry again. What substrate is it on??
