Hello,
First of all, I want to apologize for my poor english, as a french native speaker, I'll do my best to be as clear as possible.
I am using a bioactive cage, with living plants, cleaning crew, and a plant wall made of Xaxim.
Tuesday 02/09/21, I got a 4 months old male Furcifer Pardalis, purchased online, delivered at my house. He's been travelling for 16 hours before he arrived at my place.
-Day 0 (Tuesday) he ate 5 crickets from my hand without Calcium. He was a bit stressed, but discovered his enclosure all day long, then found his sleeping spot at 7.00 pm, and fell asleep.
-Day 1 (Wednesday), he ate 6 crickets without calcium. Nothing special to mention in his attitude, a normal day overall.
-Day 2 (Thursday, today), he refused to eat from my hand, so I tried several times to release bugs in front of him in his enclosure, but he still wouldnt eat them. I found him weak, would not say lethargic however. He spent the whole day on his basking spot, lying sideways, sometimes even upside down...Moving very slowly. At 6.00 pm he went to his sleeping spot, I shut the lights off and decided to leave him alone, not try to feed him again.
Thank you for your help!
