Anyways, the first two days pete ate 2 crickets a day then all the sudden stopped since then he refused any type of food but has been pooping every few days, 4 poops but each one has been slightly watery. i have offered him a bunch of veggies everyday. apples carrot lettuce red pepper grape and today some hard boiled egg.The first time i gave him some grape he loved to lick it but not he refuses when i try to put something up to his mouth he closes his eyes.

Crickets: I got small crickets from petsmart and like i said the first two days he ate two, and now he acts like hes scared of them he will literally run away from the crickets they are no bigger then the gap between his eyes i try giving them to him right in front of his with tongs but he just runs away or closes his eyes im scared and dont know why hes starving him self any help would mean soooo much!!
 
It's most likely relocation stress. It takes a bit of time to set in sometimes. Just let him get used to you and he'll be fine :D

PS very pretty colors! :love10:

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
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!
