hi guys

my adult leo doesnt seem to be eating.

only feeding him every other day (black crickets) and he doesnt seem to wanting them.
i didnt feed him saturday or sunday to build his appetite up and put some in last nite wen he was active and he just is not interested in them, and they are still there now.

he used to be such a good little hunter.

this might seem silly but could he be blind??

he has not lost any weight but im worried.

any ideas.

Maybe he just doesn't like black crickets. How long have you been feeding him them?

last couple of weeks. got told they have got quite powerful back legs so if one has given him a kick in the chops it would put him off them. feeding him no.5s so there quite big.

think he is just being awkward, he had 3 earlier and my smaller female loves em.

its still like he cant find them or doesnt see them.

gonna give him half a pinky later as a treat.

I sometimes think Nagini is blind- but we've come to conclusions she's not. She just pretends not to be able to see her food, so she has an excuse to go for us instead
