cwd won't eat! help!

Rain · 02-03-05, 12:01 PM

I have recently aquired a 6 year old male cwd and he has refused all of his food for the last 3-4 weeks which is how long i have had him for. his enclosure is all in order and is quite large enough for him.
I have contacted the seller and have tried all of his recommendations. I have run out of ideas. help!

Hi Rain

Well what have you tried to feed and what are his enclosure temps and such?

well his enclosure is floating around 80 and up on the warm and the cooler side fluctuates. I have tried feeding the foods he has been raised on. live and dead crickets, powdered and unpowdered also apparently his favorite foods are red grapes and bananas. according to the seller he has only refused food once and that lasted a week but this was close to 3 years ago.

Well mine loves large meal worms and super worms.

Do you feed in a bowl Mine wants to be fed with forcepts.

Is the cage in an area with more traffic than he is use to?

Do you have a picture?

Hi Rain
What have you tried to feed?
Are you keeping him warm and the humidity up?
How big is his enclosure?

These things help us figure out what to do to help.
