Hi, if anybody could post that sheet that is an outline for general husbandry, that would be great but in the meantime I'll just write out everything.
I have a male 4ish month old nosy be ambilobe mix that I bought from a breeder/member on here about a month ago. My problem is he doesn't have the appetite I would assume a baby to have. I first tried 1/4 inch crickets as that's what the other member had been feeding them and he would only eat maybe 2 a day and I would have to spend a long time coaxing him. I tried fruit flies, mealworms, superworms, and now I'm at dubias. The fruit flies he originally liked but lost interest in, and all the superworms I have are WAY too big for him but he will readily eat any size of them. He'll only eat a couple 1/4 inch dubias if I coax him a lot. And i don't like feeding mealworms because of how unhealthy they are as a staple. I have tried both cup feeding and free roaming, what seems to work best is had feeding in a cup or placing the insect on the screen right in front of him.
He's in a 16x16x30 cage with a basking spot of around 84F and a compact fluorescent 5.0 (im working on upgrading) I have a mister that goes off for 30 seconds 6 times a day and I will also mist a couple times a day to add. Cage has an umbrella plant and a jasmine that provide lots of coverage. I take him out to sun for about an hour a couple times a week. I see him drink and his poops and urates are normal looking
It just worries me when there's days like today that he just hasn't eaten at all.
Oh and I dust with calcium without d3 a few times a week and reptivite every other week.
