So Tony hasn't been eating these last couple of days. Let me rephrase, he hasn't been eating his crickets the last couple of days. This is really worrying me. He had a little accident a week or so back but aside from chipping some of his nails he was fine. He walks fine and doesn't have shaking limbs and his spine is straight still. I saw him eat one cricket once and that was it. Thinking he had a problem shooting them I brought out his worms to see how his tongue would do. He caught them all no problem. When he goes outside he'll even try/eat those bugs. However he goes back in his cage and won't touch his crickets at all. My vet told me once sometimes they throw tantrums and you just have to wait them out. Still, I'm not very keen on just not feeding him them it somehow feels like neglect even if he does need to learn that crickets are important meal food. I'm sure he's fine, but I've decided his next poop is going to get a fecal examination. Especially because I saw him eat something in the dirt that...well let's say it wasn't kosher. Maybe do I take him out too much so he's spoiled and thinks all his meals should be had outside? I usually get him the brown crickets, but this time around I bought him some giant black crickets to spice things up but he is not having it. He seems to be over his Dubai roaches too. However I don't want him to just be on a diet of wax worms, horn worms, and supers (he loves his worms). Maybe should I try a whole new rotation of bugs? If so, tell me what you're feeding your guys and dolls?
) the horn worms as those are a good staple that will hydrate. If he loves worms also offer silks! My Kai is a VERY picky eater who started refusing his crickets and dubai's in favor of only supers. When I noticed his total obsession for supers I started swapping them for the silks and horns. It worked and I can occasionally slip in a dubai here and there and he even has begun to miss his crickets
