I waited a couple days and left one in her viv overnight and she ate it. She hasn’t ever gone over a week without eating, but refuses occasionally and never eats more than one. A few weeks ago she weighed 17 grams and i weighed her tonight at 16 grams. She appears to be healthy, she usually comes out to roam when the sun goes down and doesn’t mind handling, but the weight gain can’t be okay. Any ideas as to what could be wrong??
I forgot to mention she’s in a custom built viv measuring roughly 25x15x8 with a heat mat on a stat measuring 84-86 degrees with three hides and some fake plants.
