So one of my panthers is deciding to boycott eating very much lately. BUT he does like to eat worms still. He will go right after a mealworm which i know he cant eat everyday. He will eat 1-2 silkworms and i got him to eat a small hornworm yesterday. He seems like hes getting a wee bit thin to me, maybe im paranoid???
