so last evening after work.... he seemed a little more awake (not totally dug in) when i picked him up to soak. i gave him his a soak with pedialyte. i dropped in a small red worm after about 10 minutes. not interested. then i emptied dish and left him with just the worm...misted him a bit. he went after worm a lil bit, took one bite at it...then it slid underneath him and stayed there. i didn't want to move him or drop another in front of him because then he gets spooked and goes and hides. he looked around and then just gave up. man so close. when i try to put him back in front of worm....he lost interest. it seems almost like he forgets how to eat.
Challenging little booger My EBT Hatchling went about a month when I changed Indoor Enclosures just dug in and hid. I put him in a side box put meal worms, wax worms, a few pill bugs, and small crickets with the hind legs removed in a bag dusted with calcium and vitamins. Released them all in the box with Charlie Houdini Brown and let him go after his liking.
