Hi guys,
So for the first time since I've had Espio, he's decided to go on a hunger strike. He's always been such a good eater, but for the past couple of weeks he's been really picky. He's always loved his dubia roaches, but lately he doesn't want to eat any of them. He will eat one or two roaches every couple of days and that's it. I put the roaches in a little Tupperware in his terrarium. I know he knows how to eat out of it because he's done it before with no problem. How can I get him to start eating again? He is still pooping, so I guess he isn't starving.
Espio is a 10 month old veiled boy. His basking temp is about 86-87 on chillier days like today and when the Colorado weather decides to be nice, it's about 88-89 degrees.
Also, funny side note. He's decided he only wants to drink from the sprayer directly and will come to the front of his terrarium and start sticking his tongue out at me when he's thirsty. I'll spray a light mist in the air above him and he drinks. When he's done he wanders back in his terrarium. I spray his leaves a couple times a day too, but he won't drink off of them anymore-only from the sprayer. Is that normal?
