Gerhard, I am bringing the animals out of cooling now and have been offering them all types of food, ie. crickets, waxworms, fruit nectar mixes, etc. but they have not started eating really, they seem to be slowly coming out of their brumation state. I only received the pair a few weeks ago, and yes, I am very much trying to entise this pair to feed. If they don't breed this year, there is always next, and now I have them under my care so I can control every aspect of their care as I know only a little about this particular pair prior to this acquisition except that the female had one offspring last season. Any help would be greatly appreciated if you would be generous enough to share some of your personal experience. PM me if you are willing, otherwise I will take the hint like the others have freely expressed.
