Whenever i put in Joyce's salad bowl, she runs over to it and investigates it. She then attempts to eat some. She however misses every time. At about the 10th try, she stops and walks away. Today, on her 10th try, she walked away. However, she walked back and ate some butter nut squash. She then dragged her face along her paper towel beading and she squinted her eyes. She ate a leaf of collard greens and did the same thing. He eyes always squint whenever she does things that she needs to see. I believe it has something to do with the previous owner.

Let's investigate.

What type of UVB?
Basking bulb?
Basking temp?
Cool side temp?
Ambient temp?
What type of therm are you using to gather temps?
Substrate?

Please be specific so we can get this figured out. :)

Im not sure on this one, but my female will rub her snout on the ground or something hard if she eats somethings she dosnt like the taste of. I know what you mean about missing, are you dusting with calcium?

The only thing i can think of is perhaps tilting to bowl a little, so she dosnt have to try and bend all the way down?

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
