We took in a partial albino leo from a law student that was rehoming her because law school is so demanding on her time. She seems very well cared for, and healthy. She is 1.5 years old, a total sweetheart, and seems to be adjusting well to the move.
We have had her 2 days, and finally got her to eat tonight. What is normal qty of crix for a 1.5 year old & how often? She ate 5 with assistance, she needs help hunting them, her previous owner said she needs that little assistance because of some vision impairment due to her albinoism. My teenage daughter doesn't mind catching and holding the crix, and she did munch 5. Is that a decent amount for her first meal with us? And I am understanding every 2 days for feeding?
We have her in a 20gal long, she is by herself, has cool hide, warm moist hide. Warm side is 89/90 and she likes that side. Also lots of soft fleece blankies that she LOVES to nuzzle into. Have calcium dish, water dish, and food dish (not that she will use the food dish, as we had to help her see the crix.
So since she has never had supers, what would be best way to get her to realize they are food? We have been offering them via hand-feeding, but she doesn't seem to know what they are.
Anyone foresee a problem with the fleece blankies? My 4 beardies all have them, they are claw tested to the max. Figured they would be soft on her tender little feeties, and she seems to love nuzzling them.
