Advice on my new Leo? - Greatly appreciated!

[Holly123]

Hey guys,

I know you've probably answered this question a million times over but any advice would be greatly appreciated!

So yea, got my little guy a week ago today but hes not feeding yet. I know that this is normal and im determined not to worry lol! but do any of you have any tips on how to get the ball rolling?

I handle him only when absolutley nessessary (like today, when he got stuck behind the plastic plant :roll: - sooo dont know how he managed it but anyways...) Ive got a calcium dish and water (obviously) and a meal worm dish. A few mealies seem to be missing, but I have spotted the odd escapee so im not at all certain he's eaten any. Ive left a couple of crickets in his viv (ive even placed a bit of carrot in view of his hide so that he can see the crickets eating ;-)) - I'll be popping to the pet shop later to buy some locusts to try.

Any other suggestions? Or is it now out of my hands?
Thanks, Holly

Crickets bother leos and further stress them, so don't leave them in. Put a single cricket in for an hour every day or 2 and remove it if uneaten.

make sure temps are good(warm side at 90-95 floor temps), it has hiding spots and it should settle in nicely once accustomed to it's new home.
