I bought a baby last Thursday, around 12 weeks old.
Thursday he eats immediately on arrival, don't think he even realises he'd relocated.
Friday he ate nothing.
Saturday managed to get some locusts in him.
Sunday another few locusts and a mealworm (I know this shouldn't be a regular thing, he'd refused both locusts and crickets and I wanted to see if he'd eat anything)
Monday a couple locusts and roaches
Now Tuesday and he's had 2 medium roaches
Amongst all these days he's generally had a little bit of leafs - alittle rocket, or some other leaf (from florette crispy salad, not sure what it is). I've also managed to get him to take the odd drop of water, and managed to get several ml of water in one sitting one day.
Now he's went through what you'd expect from a relocation stress perspective. But today he looked like he was laying flat a lot more, almost as if moving his rear was a struggle, but then he'll happily climb and jump so I definitely don't think anything is wrong there.
Long story short - am I being paranoid? I just want to ensure there's not anything wrong that I catch too late. These are some recent pics I took.
