Hi,
another question.
ive been paranoid as usual, i have a juvinile veiled not sure of age but in good health i beleive. i never see him eat or drink but i know he is eating since i let the crickets just run around in the cage.
i need help with feeding habits. he is too scared to let me hand/bowl feed him and he runs whenever i am close to the cage. i dust daily with calcium but feed the crickets that blue water stuff with no nutrients. so i have 2 questions
1. what do i do to prevent bites from the crickets
2. what do i gutload with?
and how can i get him to eat from a bowl? usually i just put 10 crickets per day and count to make sure he is eating, i think he eats 10 small crickets a day.
also his skin is extremely wrinkled as of the last 6 hours and is turning white, and he is eating less im guessing this is his first shed?
oh and since i am here. every once in awhile his poop is white, usually normal brown but has been white since the past few days when it looks like he is starting to shed.
sorry for all the questions but the feeding ones are most important for whoever can help. again he looks good but i am always so worried.
