Reptilinks

[BIgjimmy]

I have a juvenile Blue. On day 1 he ate the reptilinks no problem. Since then, I have offered 3 or 4 times and he smells it, licks it, but won't eat it at all. Anybody else experience this with reptilinks?

had a little difficulty transitioning my guy initially. he LOVED insects so I ended up chopping up half a dubia and either scenting the reptilink with it (rubbed a little fish oil on them too), or doing the ol' bait and switch on him for a while. After a month or so of that he started gobbling them up on his own with no trickery from me and loves them to this day.

Thanks very much, that's a good idea. Mine loves superworms unfortunately, he would eat only that if I let him. I will try scenting with superworms for a while.

Could be due to weather and refusing food due to hibernation

Definitely not that, he still wants his ground turkey and superworms.

They can be picky little buggers, but don't forget to sprinkle that calcium (Repti-Cal or whatever) and you can always hide things like veggies in ground turkey, or sometimes I stuff things into Skully's salmon that he loves!
