leo behaviour

[flipguy]

hey, my leo hasnt been eating for the past few days i have fixed or checked everything i believe could be wrong, but i have noticed that he has since this morning been sitting in 1 spot instead of his usual place of inside his cave. he is only new so this may be him just coming out of his shell but does any1 have any other ideas as to why he is doing this? thanks

How long have you had him? He could still be settling in. Also, is he due for a shed as my Leos often don't eat before and after shedding.

ehh i am not sure u commented on my other thread. i think he is but he hasnt eaten in like 3 or 4 days and is not going pale so i dnt know. and i have had him for 3 weeks. he was eating 4 a day the just stopped. but tonight i saw him try and catch 1 but didnt get a good grip and it got away . and the othe time it stopped moving for a min and he lost intrest

3 days is nothing to worry about mate In the wild they can go weeks without food never mind dates. Just keep an eye on it's weight, how active it is and so on. As for him outside the hide, can you get a temp reading of inside it? and a temp on the cooler side..How many hides do you have? Have you a moist hide also?

yea i know but its just weird that he has went off it. he is quite light i suspect as he is only 2.5months old. he is more active than he has been and will now kinda cum up 2 my hand which is a 1st as i hav only had him for like 3weeks. his temp i think was a little low u told me in another thread 2 raise it lol. its now like 88/89F he has 3 hides 1 of which is a moist hide. so hopefully now it has been raised he will start eating again. also i thought he might have been shedding but dont know. thanks btw
