Appetite.........

[sleddergirl]

Anyone have a clue as to how I can stimulate Chester's appetite?..........He hasn't eaten in a couple of days and its worrying me.............I switched his enclosure on the weekend and it seems to be since then, should I just leave him alone or try a stimulant of some kind?

Just a larger enclosure, we have been adding to it as he grows..........making it bigger as necessary................lol, he is the spoiled little man. Pissy, spoiled and hungry..............:rolleyes:

Try some silkworms, thats what I did with my cham. But then again, its most likely the move that is causing the temporary hunger strike. Best of luck :D

And the answer is....................SILKWORMS......ding ding ding.....:D

He gobbled them up................I think he is over his anger of changing enclosures, now he's back to being angry about everything else in life............:rolleyes:

It seems that he is back on the crix also. I have to check the enclosure in a little while to see how many are still there........lol. I can't believe how tolerant the veileds in my store are compared to Chester. They actually come to the entrance of their enclosures when I am coming to feed them. Not once have they ever hissed or puffed at me..............now Chester on the other hand..............they are all female and he is male..........figures..:rolleyes: ;)
