My 9 mth Ambilobe male is eating less. He was a bit dehydrated with orange urate but I corrected it with an early morning misting cycle (before the lights come on) and added a dripper, which he seems to take advantage of here and there. Now he has white urate. Nonetheless, I'm lucky to see him eat 2 large crickets a day. He also skips days without eating. I've also seen him miss his target a few times and lose interest, which is frustrating because I want to see him eat more. I feed him crickets gutloaded with tiki tiki cricket crack, water crystals and I'll also drop in greens and fruit for crickets here and there. I ordered some silk worms and horned worms to add to the diet.
I dust the crickets as per Kammerflage alternating days Herptivite w/beta carotine (twice a week), Phosphorus-free Calcium with vit D (3 times a week), phosphorus free calcium NO vit D (twice a week)
he's in a DIY screen cage 48X24X24 with a big umbrella plant and plenty of fake vines. basking area at 80 degrees. He was gaping any hotter, but is fine now. Humidity seems good. Its been dry here so I mist-king every 2 hours for 6 minutes per.
He seems healthy and happy besides this. Moves around his cage confidently and strong. I handle him here and there as he's always been a willing participant.
thanks for your comments.
