How long till they eat?

[lilcathr]

I've had my bts since August 4th. ( it's the 13th now) she's barely eaten anything besides bananas she loves bananas she will only take a few licks or a bite of food and I've tried cat and dog food dry and wet. Greens , blueberrys and strawberries, eggs,mealworms,snails . I'm thinking about boiling chicken next if I can't get her to eat . How long till your bts ate regularly?

They should start to eat shortly after you getting them. How old is this one? Where did you get it from? I read what you have tried, but have you tried mixing it all together in a blender or food processor? Also to much banana can cause diarrhea and loose stools. If it like it though mix banana in with all the stuff it is supposed to eat.

Check your temps, make sure he has a basking site of at least 95 degrees. My babies never stop eating. How old is he?

Thanks splashy07, I forgot to mention that as well.

She is about 2 or 3 years old. I got her from a breeder close to where I live. I haven't tried blending it all together. I've mixed it but not blended it. I'll have to get a temp gage to see what her hot area is at .

Sounds good. Definitely keep us posted. Where are you located? That could very possibly be playing into as well.

What type of BT is he? If Gigas (Indonesian species) it could also be related to a low humidity issue.
Unhappy skinks will not eat. Possible to post a picture? Is his enclosure large enough for him to
thermoregulate? Too hot or too cold can also create feeding problems.

I'm from Kansas. She's a northern mix? Not pure , and I have her in a 55 gal it won't let me post pictures I'm trying to figure out why
