Re: I couldn't pass it up
Serpentgirl - Thank you! Its one of my favorite morphs for sure. I know that they were being fed live fuzzies with tongs.
Andy - I'm thinking they are a little stressed out about the open feel to the bigger cages. They had lived in a rack before so I think you're right about the sides. I'm trying to get something. I had been planning on making my own backs for the cages, maybe I'll move them into the smaller cages I have now and then cover that while I customize their cages to be less exposed. Their hot sides are around 90-95* while the colder is around the lower 70s.
I did try a feeding again today as I had pulled their water. The female hissed and struck at it, showed no interest. So I left her alone, then male seemed interested and drank the dripping water but turned away. After trying to feed they both were very active and circled their cages several times and seemed very into the spots where the food had dripped. This is with a brained fuzzies. I don't want to leave in their because the substrate seems to stick to the fuzzies. I'm contemplating feeding in a separate container and leaving overnight also contemplating getting live pinkies to help them get used to feeding from tongs in this enclosure. Or even yet just putting them in small enclosures until they are more comfortable. I'm still a week or two off from that point though.
Since they refused feeding should I give them their water back?
