RE: Ctenosaura Similis not eating yet

Hello,
I deal with Similis on a constant basis. If you have access to some red hibiscus flowers they work great for starters. Also try mixing in some grated carrots with fine chopped romaine lettuce. The bright colors of the carrots stimulate feeding and the lettuce re-hydrates. Also place the food directly under the heat lamp. When you see that he starts feeding regularly then I would start introducing (lightly) calcium powder supplement. If you try to feed the calcium now he may not eat the food because they dislike the taste of the powder.

Hope this helps,

Manny
