checkereds not eating..?
ok I'm kinda thinking that this is a dumb post, but i want to ask anyway. My albino female hasn't eaten in a while and neither has my male.
My female (Tina) shed Sep. 26th and then ate twice, once Sep. 27th and again Oct. 2nd and hasn't eaten since. I do have to say that everytime i go to find her she's buried herself into the mulch so I'm kinda thinking she's wanting to brumate?.
And my male (Major) last ate Sep. 21st and shed Oct. 2nd and hasn't eaten since, but it always out and about. I'm not worried about either, just wanting some input on what i could and should do.
My second female (Helga) is a pig! She eats so much it's not funny, I could feed her 3 hoppers in one sitting, not that i do, but she just eats and eats.

They may just be off food since Winter is coming.
If you're not going to brumate them you'll just have to wait it out until they start eating again.
Is this the first Winter they have been with you or do you have some history with them?
You are right not to be worried at this point.
Keep us posted.

My 4 males, T.marcianus are doing the same thing its that time of year when they slow down and react to the season. offer them some food but i wouldn't be concerned if they don't have an appetite.

Re: checkereds not eating..?
the only thing is that i'm planning on brumating them once i move from my parents house here, so by december 1st is what were planning on. Then I was planing on a course of action as to where and how to brumate them, to find the perfect spot. I could almost brumate them for all of november since they havn't eaten for a month or more, but that kinda messes up the other female (who keeps eating regardless).
the tanks and this room gets nice and warm during the day, but cool at night.
