Hey there,
I got this girl just under 3 weeks ago from a reptile expo, and since I got her I rarely if ever see her eat. I've only seen her eat all of twice, I've tried free feeding, control feeding and cup feeding and I'm starting to worry that she isn't eating as much as she should be. I dust crickets and try and put a couple on the screen in front of her and the rest in her cup and as far as I can tell she doesnt touch them. If I try holding one in front of her she doesn't care either. She is in an 18x18x36 reptibreeze with tons of plants and branches (although she still frequently chooses to climb the screen). I've tried crickets, waxworms, hornworms, soldier fly larvae to no avail. Now I do find that the crickets I toss in seem to disappear as I don't see any running around her tank but for all I know they're hiding or dead somewhere I can't see. She has a 5.0 Reptisun UVB and a basking light, the cool end stays around 75-80 and the basking area stays around 85-90. Lights are on a 12hr timer and I have a misting system which also goes off 2x a day, as well as a dripper that I let run when I'm home. She has gained a small amount of weight, she was 8g when I got her and she was 9g yesterday but I'm still worried. Any suggestions what I can do?
