Question Question Re: Feeding Habits

Hi all,

My little bugger BD just turned 8wks and now has slowly taken a disliking to being fed his crix in a separate feeding tank. He used to go crazy pacing watching me getting them ready, now when I put him in there nothing he'll only have a couple if any, then wants out. His appetite seems to have dwindled too, not having near as many as he used to.

Just wondering If It may be a temporary thing or not? Don't really like the idea of leaving crix in his enclosure as It will make It harder to monitor how much he Is eating, and the fact there are heaps of places for them to hide etc.

He's In a 3ft glass viv, with meshing on top and on each side as well, his temps atm are basking 37, cool end 20, warm around 26, having probs keeping warm end a little higher now that It's getting cooler with the weather.
He has UV, up until this morning It was a 2ft flouro inside viv, but he rarely used It, so have put that one now on top of viv and added a new compact fluoro that's meant to work up to a distance of 50cm and have paced It near his basking spot as that's where he seems to hang out most of the day

Much appreciated for any advice
Edited for my shocking spelling
