Hunger strike

[Kclarke02]

so my little Chloe seems to be on a hunger strike today. Yesterday she ate a lot, about 6 crickets, 2 small hornworms and a couple superworms. Today, I put 2 crickets in there that have been crawling all around her and she's not interested. I even put another small hornworm in there, still nothing. I've read that they will do this but I hope it doesn't last long!

Her belly is stuffed & might not eat for a couple days until she digests what she just ate!

They can go a couple weeks or a little more without food so no need to start worrying quite yet. I've had my cham go on a food strike for a week before. It baffled me because he gets so many different kinds of insects that he is spoiled. But sometimes they will hold out until you give them something specific. Thats why I usually have at least 5 or more different feeders on hand at all times, so there are always a few options. Worse comes to worse, you order a couple things you don't have usually and spike their interest.

My Cham went almost 3 weeks without eating! It drove me insane, after a clear fecal and vet visit he decided he would eat everything in sight, I believe your Cham is just full, that's a lot of food for one day

Thank you everyone! She was a bottomless pit yesterday so it makes sense that she may still be full. **Just as I was typing this she ate a cricket!! Ok I feel better, she's good.** such a diva this one.....
