problem feeder

[silke]

I have a blizzard leo who is 3-4 months old and she has been a problem feeder since i got her
she will eat 2 crix one night and nothing for 3 nights
right now her tail and limbs are very thin although her torso looks to be in good shape
i had a fecal done and it came back negative

Has anybody had any problems getting their leos to eat this year?
Did you solve the problem? how?

When I had my two female leos, one was a huge eater....but the other was like yours. She would let herself get thin. What about trying another prey item? My thin one didn't really like crickets, but when I ended up trying mealies, and especially wax worms she ate like a champ. Of course, wax worms being so fatty....but it was better than nothin'! ?

I have tried mealworms also.
When i got the silkworms after the show Oct.20 I tricked her into eating one which allowed her to donate a sample large enough for me to get the fecal exam done
i have also tried small superworms...really small; but she won't touch those either
with her it's crix or nothing
the temps are right with a gradient...she's on papertowel
she spends most of her time in her humid hideshe has a water dish and a dish of calcium powder
