Megatron's Mom
Well-Known Member
So I've posted a few different things and now Megatron has lost some weight. She has lost 2 grams, weighs 131g now. She/he is about 7 months old.
We started off on the wrong foot. I have two other posts and thought we were finally on the right path. She/he has started eating but barely. Temps are on the warmer side. The basking spot is about 100F, opposite side of the basking is 89F, Middle is 84 and humidity hide and cool side is 82F.
I have an infrared heat temp gun to double check temps. Her humidity is 89-90 other then directly under the basking light.
I have been soaking twice a day for 30 minutes in the morning and 20 in the afternoon.
Food has been, mustard greens, prickly pear, kale, arugula, hibiscus flower, Christmas cactus flower, clovers, I added the Massuri pellets after they have been soaked. I've never seen her try them yet. I've tried a few other things but have been sticking to things she ate previously to try to get her to eat.
It's like she wants to eat but misses the food then gives up. She tried to take a bite a few times out of the cactus but I thought it was too thick so the next time I slice it in half to make it thinner. It's like she couldn't open her mouth wide enough.
Posting a video it's not the best but just maybe you can see what I'm talking about. Previously she would go straight for the hibiscus flower and I could even have her eat the prickly pear out of my hand.
