Hey, new skink owner, stressed about feeding

Postby Tristan179 » Mon Nov 22, 2021 10:55 am

Hi! I just recently picked up an axanthic blue tongued skink, she’s about 2 months old and I’ve had her a little over a week, I’ve been told to offer her food daily and so I’ve been doing so but today will be day 3 of her hiding under her log. She hasn’t been coming out for food and the thought of her going a third day without eating is stressful, I’m wondering should I handle her and try to feed her from my hand? That way she also can try to adjust to being handled a bit, or just let her hide and do her thing. Another thing that concerned me is she has been hiding on the colder side, so I’m a bit stressed about feeding her because of that as well because I know their digestive system slows down and I don’t want her to get sick. Just stressed about doing everything right is all, any help is greatly appreciated, thank you!
