So ive had falcore for over 2 months now without him feeding for me. he ate once but when i took him to the shop for them to try. I tried one last ditch attempt by downsizing his home to a cricket tub with an inch of aspen and water bowl in. put a 3rd on the heatmatt and left him alone for 9 days. Came to feed him friday night in his home and he was really interested but would take it. so after a while i left it with him. when i went back in the morning pinky was still there. i was about to give up and throw away the pinky but thought id try and get him to take it one last go as i saw his hea popping out. so i jingled the pinky around to create movement and vibrations and after a few mins the next thing i know falcore has its head in his mouth. So i left him to eat and went back 10 mins later. the pinky had gone and falcore buried. i was worried he had jsut dragged it under but after leaving him 2 days i checked the substrate this morning and no pinky plus im sure i would have smelt it by now. so so happy. going to try again saturday and hope he has the taste for it now and will feed regulary. :)
thanks well hopefully he will start to grow a bit now once he is regulary feeding and i can handle him more and take more pics as had to try keep him stress free during this whole ordeal.
so so relieved lol. been very stressfull and ive felt very neglectful toward him as hadnt been able to interact or feed him. but now i hope this is the start of me finally been able to enjoy him. Fingers crossed he eats again now i know how to tempt him and signs he is hungry.
thats great news i know how stressful it is when they dont eat..especially when they are smaller, fingers crossed for you he keeps eating and starts to grow nicely
