Ok should I put it on the bottom of one side, with the water dish?
Ok should I put it on the bottom of one side, with the water dish?
I have my heat mat on one side and the water dish on the opposite side.
You may want to try him with different livefoods i would deffinately go with earthworms and roaches has horned frogs and similar species find these hard to resist. I have a horned frog now as we speak that would rather starve than eat crixs. he wont touch them.
hope this helps
Ok I put the heat mat on the side of the tank and piled his substrate a bit more on it. His water dish is on the opposite end. Are bait worms from Walmart ok? I plan on getting some here in a bit.

Like the first person who commented said, it may be that yours has gone so long without eating that it's made itself sick. A friend suggested this to me, and it worked on mine when he wouldn't eat as a baby. For the first few months I had him, I would give him a warm water bath every two days for about ten minutes (he had some pretty severe impaction issues), put him back in his cage, and immediately give him a cricket or two, and he'd eat them right off. I don't have to do that anymore, but if you can establish some sort of routine like that, or even try feeding him in a separate tank like some people do it might get him started eating again.
Thanks for the advice! I know he isn't impacted as he has been going to the bathroom, but I will try some warm water and then feeding him. He seems to be a bit happier now that the light is off.
Like i said earlier it most prob is the light causing a problem, Albinos can not have any direct sources of light whether that being a bulb or the actual sun.
Im glad to ear hes seems happier.![]()
I tried putting him in some warm water, he hated it lol. Then after that I offered him a baby nightcrawler, he didn't show any interest in it. I put him back in the tank on the warm side and later he had moved to the cool side and burrowed, which is good because I haven't seen him burrow in a while.
Feeding worms is going to be annoying since I can't just throw them in the tank or they'll dig underground.
