Candoia Carinata Carinata

nm2612 Jun 09, 2010 03:32 AM

My female Candoia C Carinata was always a good eater, except in wintertime, but that's not the problem. When temps go up in spring she always started eating good. Until now, she stopped eating end oktober and stil refuses to eat! She normally eats dead small hoppers, without any problems. Any suggestions? She's not gravid and lost some weight but isn't skinny.

HAVE YOU TRIED LIVE FUZZIES?....SEVERAL OF MY CANDOIA ARE ALSO OFF FEED RIGHT NOW...THEY NORMALLY RESUME FEEDING WHEN THEY ARE READY...NOT MOTHER NATURE....JC

Yes tried live fuzzies several times, just doesn't seem to have any attention for food.

ALL YOU CAN DO IS WAIT...UNLESS YOU WANNA TRY AN ANOLE OR HOUSE GECKO OR TREEFROG...I HAVE HAD GREAT FUZZY FEEDERS REFUSE FUZZIES FOR A MONTH OR TWO, BUT THEN WOULD ONLY EAT LIZARDS OR FROGS...THEY ARE HARD TO FIGURE OUT SOMETIMES...JC
