Hi all you guys and gals, I just found this forum and had wee look through and I have to say there seems to be some educated people on here, so I hope someone can help me out here.
So here goes.
About two months ago I bought a young bosc, its about 18 maybe 20" from snout to tip of tail now. He(?) isnt eating like a bosc should. He was eating fuzzies for a while then just stopped, Iput 6 large locusts in the viv about a week ago and still one remains. Last night I got him out and managed to get him to open his mouth, popped a fuzzy in there and he through it down his throat no problem, so I done that twice so he had 2 fuzzies and he seemed to enjoy them but had no interest until I put them in his mouth?!!!
Now heres my setup.
For now hes in a 30" square viv till i build his full size viv. Substrate was wood chippings until today when i changed to newspaper so I can see better when he defecates. There is no uv light but I give him trex solardrops once a week, is this ok? Light and heat is provided by a 60wtt spot - usually in the mid 30's in the warm side and mid 20's at the cool end.
Are all boscs dustbins when it comes to food or do you get the odd picky eater?
Please help Im starting to worry!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers
