[fickle]

are albino leos retarded b/c mine is dumb i put crickets right in front of its face after i ripped their back legs off so they cant move fast and i also i have been feeding it waxworms but it is stupid and i pretty much have to baby it and hand feed it :-x

How long have you had your albino? I think most leos are a bit hesitant to eat when they've just been out in a new environment.... also, how long has this been going on? Because they tent not to eat around the time that they're shedding

i had it for about 2 weeks and i just doesnt seem interested in crickets or waxworms i have to practically hand feed it and it is still hard to make it eat

 

[fickle]

also its been going on the whole time i have had it

one weird thing with it it takes very little poops but it isnt compacted and it looks healthy even though i rarely see it eat

 

[Kazska]

Do you have mealworms? I think they're a MUST have

Ummm... .Why are you so mad that you have to hand feed it? Sometimes they just prefer to be hand fed. It is nothing to that upset about.

[fickle]

Hey there,

Have you ever thougt about the possibilty that she has to adjust a little bit more, and maybe she prefers a different type off feeder insect?? You could also feed her Dubia roaches, small locus, and mealworms. Take the time to find out what she likes, and don't get to frustrated about it. It won't do you any good, and it doesn't help your leo too!
Please remember; If she's not eating, she isn't dumb or anything. There's always a good reason for an animal if it's not eating!! Try to find that out, and don't hesitate to ask some help on the forum ;-)
We are all willing to give you advice, I'm sure!
Good luck,
Kind regards,

Cindy

Thats good! Hope he carries on eating well. I still think you should get him some mealworms though, or like Cindy said, some locusts? They need a bit of variation in their diet

[Kazska]

Should sell them at any reptile shop
