low appetite again

[arnau666]

ok so after i switched to lobster roach everything was grate,he ate like 7-10 adults per day ! it passed a month since i have him and i dusted the roaches with zoomed reptivite with d3 , as i recall he had a low appetite when he ate crickets dusted with the same product ! yesterday was his 1st day from the two per month with d3 dust ! he was acting normal and charged for the roaches ...after he ate one or two he was surprised .. maybe the taste? could it be that he just doesnt like the product or the d3 how it tastes? anyone has any ideea? or he is just tired of lobster roach? curently my dubia are on the way im curious if he will change his appetite again ! any ideeas? he sheded on 30 april, and now i see some white spots on him , my 1st tought was that they are from the water i mist his cage - white calcium spots maybe? could it be that he is shedding again so fast in 2 weeks? ill post some pics later today !

could be a little of both. Sometimes they are just weird about what they want to eat. I wouldn't worry about it too much really.

ill keep an eye on him,he drives me crazy when i open his cage comes to my and grabs so hard and he doesnt want to go inside just sits there and watchs me ! could it be that he doesnt like his cage? or does he want to explore more ? i dont think he likes me so much that he wants to stay on my hand all day but why not .as for his appetite he ate only 4 lobster roach adult size . hope he will eat more . i hate when they are so cranky but i love it , does it makes any sense ? any way tnx

How old? My veiled went from 10-12 crickets a day down to 5 at 11 months old. Also what's your supplement schedule?

 

[arnau666]

he is 5 months and a half , jbl micocralcium-plain calcium daily, zoomed reptivite with d3 twice a month and reptolife plus multivit twice per month

Probably that is from minerals in the water. I live in a 'hard' water area and my chams get some water deposits on them too.
My male Veiled is very funny about Roaches too, I thought he ate 15 or so when I first got them, but I've found a few since then so it seems he just doesn't like them very much. My guy is very fussy though.............
