Appetite.........

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?

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

And the answer is....................SILKWORMS......ding ding ding.....

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............

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..
