She didn't eat....

[Envee]

So, last night was Critter's first night in her new terrarium... and she seemed to settle in well... first she rubbed all the shed off her head and then climbed under a rock and promptly went to sleep.( this morning I noticed she still has shed stuck to her toes...:sad
I tried to feed her last night, but she didn't even move... the mealworm crawled right up to her and she curled up tighter and didn't want nothing to do with it.. I kinda thought that she might be full after eating all her shed skin earlier...
This morning she left a nice sized pooh... nice and solid, but whitish??
So I guess I have a couple questions...
1. how long do I leave the shed on her feet hoping that she will pull it off?
2. what is an inexpensive way to keep the mealworms in the feeding dish? ( i can't get back to the city to buy a new dish till nxt weekend sometime...)
3. How long do I leave her without her eating?

I found her this morning in her warm moist hide:biggrin:

1. I would leave her in the moist hide for a couple hours, and check to see if she has removed the shed herself this afternoon.
2. Get a deeper dish! or find a small container of sorts. (a hole in the side of a margarine container, with mealies inside could work)
3. She will eat by weeks end.

I use a delicup from a local restaurant the kind you might get dressing on the side or ketchup to go in.

My Leos never eat before, during, or after their shed until the next day. I would say that eating your skin fills the up pretty well.
