Hey guys,
A little background info to help you guys out.
My Chan. Is a male Jackson guessing about a couple months old. I purchased him from a reptile expo a week ago.
His humidity is at 80% : I have a fogger u run on low throughout the day and turn off at night. And I mist his cage every morning and night.
Basking spot is around 85 and the average temp everywhere else is 78-80. I use a low watt basking bulb and a uvb bulb. (2 seperate bulbs. I heard just a uvb bulb provides enough heat tho?)
He's in a medium reptibreeze enclosure with a live safe plant in the middle which goes from the bottom of the cage to the top. Along with a vine at different angles and altitudes, and a couple fake plants
Ok, for the problem in having. The first and second day he ate a couple dubia roaches. I took him out of the cage and hand fed him, the next day he ate a super worm using the same method. For the next day I tried to hand feed him inside his cage and he leaned and turned away everytime I tried. I looked online and saw a couple post on people putting a small container and attaching it to the cage and put the bugs in their so I did that also. I put dubia roach mealworms and a super worm in there and he hasn't eating any of it yesterday or yet today. I know since he's young he needs a lot of food so I'm getting worried. Should I take him out and try hand feeding him again?
Thanks and sorry for the long post.
