One cricket a day?

[Bratling1986]

Herman, my 6 month old Jackson, has only been eating one cricket a day. He's active from the moment I turn his heat lamp on in the morning until around 7pm, whether his lamp is on or not. is one cricket a day normal? I just ordered him some superworms as well.

Try getting him some horn worms. Super worms aren't very nutritious from what I understand and shouldn't be fed as a staple. How long has this been going on for? He could just be tired of the crickets.

What's the basking temperature?

 

[Bratling1986]

The basking temperature I keep at 80 with a humidity of 75-80

Is he pooping? Do you have a substrate in the cage?

No, he is not eating enough, solve this quickly.

He is pooping. I've tried mealworms, crickets, and nothing. I tried tempting him and he took it in his mouth then spit the cricket out. He at two mealworms yesterday. That's it. Any suggestions on how to get him to eat??

 

[Bratling1986]

Ok now I'm freaking out he threw up a whole cricket and the two mealworms he ate yesterday. He hasn't eaten since yesterday. What is going on?? Is it stress??

I would get it to a vet ASAP.

 

[Bratling1986]

I have no vet that specializes in reptiles nearby, so I'm trying to do everything I can now. Could it be maybe he ate some of the sphagnum moss that is on top of the Jade I have in his cage when he was eating?? Would that make him sick?

This is more than stress. He will need help. Do what you can to keep him hydrated and get him to the vet.

What is the temperature during night? Also is he captive bred? You should fill the Ask For Help.
