Panther not eating

[joshuaseidman94]

So i have a panther that is roughly 10 months old. He seems healthy and just had his 3rd shed since I have owned him (got him at 4-5 months old). He recently has been refusing to eat dubia roaches. They are his staple feeder and loved them in the beginning but lately refuses to eat them and I am getting worried because he looks skinny. Whenever I offer him isopods he RUNS for them. But I use them for my research at college and so I don't want to use them as a feeder especially since I don't know how nutritious they are. He also seems to love supers but they are high in fat. Does anyone have any recommendations as to what I should do to get him to eat?
Thanks,
Joshua Seidman

he has only sheded 3 times in the past 5 months!! i dont know about anyone else but that seems like a really low number. from 5 months old til now im sure my guy has sheded 3 times in the past 2 months.

have you changed your gutloading? maybe doesnt like the taste or tired of the same tasting. have they stopped moving as much? maybe doesnt stimulate him anymore you can try putting them on their backs. as far as I know supers arent high in fat in fact are a pretty good feeder. meal worms are high in fat. there are plenty of worms that make great feeders to add in variety such as silks, hornworms, butter worms, calci/repti/phoenix worms. i know harder for me to find but some moths, BB flies, locusts, stick bugs are all other great feeders maybe try to offer osme of those for some variety
