Howdy. I've been away from the net for a while but I have been having some problems with one of my Darwins and am wondering if anyone has had a similar problem or has any ideas.
I cooled my trio of Darwins, doubting I would breed them this year but mainly doing it to get some experience for next year. I begun warming them up a few weeks ago, and two of the Darwins have been eating steadily for the last 4 weeks. The third has shown no interest at all. I have tried rats and mice of varying size. I am going to try a few more things this week, ei. chicken soup, scenting with a skink, but I surprised he is not interested. He has never given any problems with feeding before.
I also tried putting him in with the female incase he was too horny to bother eating but he wanted nothing to do with her and spent a good hour trying to escape her (freaking whenever he touched her) and the enclosure before I removed him.
Now for the last week or so he has been getting spurts of activity where he spends 30 minutes trying to push his way through the glass or the door.
Temperature is 30 C hot end (same as he was for 6 months before cooling), humidity has stayed constant. So nothing has really changed enviroment-wise. Any advice appreciated.
