My reptile is neglecting food and treats. When should I be concerned?

Check the temperature an dlighting. Low temps can affect appetite and digestion in reptiles. Offer a biologically appropriate diet. This can include a commercial pelleted or stick diet, and being omnivorous, should also include insects, fresh fruit and vegetables. See your veterianrian or vet experienced in treating reptiles if she does not regain her appetite.

My turtle only eats ReptoMin. What other foods and treats are safe?

Why change a working system? You are obviously doing very well in the way you keep your turtle. Since apparently your turtle is doing well, it is getting everything it needs with the Reptomin. You could try offering it leafy greens, freeze-dried shrimp or krill, crickets, superworms, rosy red minnows and even pinky mice as an occasional treat.

My frog-eyed gecko won't eat and is losing weight. What should I do?

Make sure his enclosure is warm enough. Low temps can affect appetite and digestion in reptiles. A hot spot between 85 F and 90 F should warm the rest or the enclosure sufficiently. Provide at least two homes as well. One on the warm side and one on the cool side. Offer appropriately sized prey, no bigger than the space between his eyes. Dust prey with an appropriate multivitamin and calcium supplement. You can soak him in a warm 50/50 solution of water and unflavored PediaLyte. This will warm him up and can treat or prevent mild dehydration. Of he doesn't begin eating in the next day or two, have him examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating reptiles.

My pet reptile or amphibian won't eat its worms. What's wrong?

Confirm proper environmental parameters, especially temperature. Low temps can affect appetite in reptiles and amphibians. Be sure you are offering appropriately sized prey as well. Nothing bigger than the space between the eyes. I would suggest you correct the type of pet you have in the information section. I don't think you have a tadpole if he hangs out with you on the desk. Knowing the species allows us to provide more accurate advice.

My reptile isn't eating much after shedding. What should I do?

Often when a reptile doesn’t want to eat, it is a sign that they don’t feel well. The most common reason behind them not feeling well is imperfections in their husbandry and diet. I would recommend consulting an online care sheet to ensure that your husbandry is as perfect as possible. Common areas of imperfection include temperature, lighting, and humidity. I would also recommend having Ash seen by a veterinarian, as they can help to counsel you about Ash’s husbandry as well. In addition to a thorough physical examination, they may recommend diagnostic testing including radiographs (x-rays) and blood work to evaluate systemic health. I hope that gives you a place to start, and thanks for using Boop by Petco!
