Hey guys, maybe you can shed some light on "buds" feeding. I used to have him in a screen top glass tank, about 36L 17H 17W. I bought a new enclosure that is 6x2x2. He loves it now after he got used to it for a week. But my question is, 90-95% he is fed in a smaller glass enclosure. He used to eat 30 crickets at a time. Since his new cage, he is not interested in eating crickets in the smaller glass cage now. Now he just walks around not eating and tring to escape. What would cause this? This weekend I put him in the feeding cage w/ crickets, never ate any, put him back in the main cage, threw in sum crickets and he ate them all, only problem is the bedding in his cage, Why would he change?

Maybe he feels too confined in the smaller cage now. I feed my guys in open top rubbermaid containers, not escape-proof, obviously, but they go right to the food and, when they're done, they crawl out for a little free roam time. _________________ 2.0.0 Argentine B&W Tegus
