My two year old Panther was wolfing down 6 or 7 locusts every other day a few months ago, but this has seriously reduced and in the last 3 weeks he’s lost all interest in eating.
I bought some silkworm as I know he finds them irresistible, and he’ll eat one or two, and when he opens his mouth to ‘lick his lips’ I try to pop in a locust and he used to go for it, but now he’s rejecting that too.
I could just feed him silkworm but they’re expensive and I don’t want to build bad habits!
Is this just a ‘winter phase’ or do I need to be concerned?
Husbandry is the same as ever. My UV lamp is 18 months old but a I’ve got a reader which tells me it’s still emitting full blast.
He’s as active as ever, loves to exit his cage and climb around the apartment, and even tries to climb on my hand when I’m trying to feed him a bug
Normally I wouldn’t be worried but this hunger strike just keeps on going. Any help or advice much appreciated
