Just basics to start, will do whole questionnaire if needed.
Hatched Oct 10-22. Have had since January. Male Ambilobe. Cage is 18x18x36. Humidity 60 mid cage, temp 90F top cage, digital reader. GREAT eater...
Then we reorganized the cage, and he has barely eaten since. Normally 5-8 crickets per day, now I'm happy to see him eat even one. This is day 4 of hunger strike.
I used Hornworm and Mealworm to break strike and they each worked great the first day. Now he isn't even wanting Hornworm.
No weight loss, but very concerned keeper. Thoughts? Should I stop offering a day or two?
I also found he has been munching the fake mulch in the back corner, see photo. About 2-3 inches. Still poops, still hydrated. Stress eating or missing nutrient?
He gets Calcium + D3 every Sunday, and Calcium every day (when he eats).
Also, I have tried cup feeding and free range. He took well to both until recent, neither seems to get him excited to eat.
