Posted: Sat Dec 06, 2008 9:59 pm change in eating habits
Apollo has generally been a very good eater...he always ate anything we gave him, from pellets to vegetables to fruit to worms. Michael went on a business trip early last month and as soon as he left, Apollo stopped eating. We figured it was just the change from his normal routine stressing him out, as it was also the start of daylight savings time. After a couple days I started to worry and gave him superworms, which he ate, no problem. Since then, he refuses to eat anything but worms or crickets. Any pellets or vegetables we give him are completely ignored, even if we put it right in front of him. The only other thing we've been able to get him to eat was a couple bites of strawberry. How concerned should we be? I've told Michael to start dusting the insects so he at least gets some nutrition. He still seems to follow the same schedule, coming out in the morning and bathing, just not eating the vegetables. Any ideas?
