not eaten for a few days
Izzi doesnt seem to have eaten much for a few days now and sometimes were not sure if anything has been touched. We are trying to provide a good variety of weeds daily and the odd pellet once or twice a week and there are also a few plants in the enclosure, we got izzi around 3 weeks ago, she is a 2011 hatchling. the temp inside the enclosure is 30-34 degrees as suggested, izzi is very active and loves roaming around the enclosure and through the plants but with her food she just seems to walk through it or stop for a sniff and then carries on, so were not too concerned but just wondering why she isnt eating if anything.

She could still be settling in. Keep bathing her twice daily to keep her hydrated. If she's active I wouldn't be too worried

Agree with Helen, it can take them ages to start feeding, they won't starve, she will eat when she is hungry

Aslong as the temps are right and she's still active she will be fine for now. just make sure theirs food available all the time for when she does get hungry.

settling in it could be, mine didn't eat much for 7 weeks only eating a little every 5 days or so.
sometimes they won't eat more until they have digested the previous stuff which can take a few days depending on what they have eaten, they can't digest stuff unless they are warm enough either so at night they probably won't be digesting anything |
