I purchased a male knight anole and it has been a week now and he still has not eaten anything, he is wild caught.
I'm getting worried because he is losing weight, he is also wild caught and I have tried crickets, superworms, pinkie and fuzzy mice.

What should I do????

I had a brown anole that went 3 weeks without eating and still survived. She was getting weak though. I think it was stress caused by the enclosure size. How big of an enclosure do you have and does it allow him to hide and feel comfortable?

If this goes on too long, you could always get some wax worms, cut a piece and hold the cut end to his mouth. If he gets a bit of a taste, I wouldn't be surprised if he eats it. That will help him put on weight too. Just don't let him get addicted to them, because they aren't the healthiest item on the menu.
