Some of you may or may not remember I have a mandarin salamander called Abe.
Abe has been with me since 2006 and had been in two homes within the space of a month before. I have no idea if they were her only homes or not.
She came to me after someone lost interest and it became apparent she was a bit of a stubborn feeder. Took a while, but she got so much better she would literally take food from your fingers.
Up until recently. She has only eaten one waxworm in a little over three weeks. I've tried offering earthworms, slugs, wood lice, waxies....she's just not interested.
I don't know if it's age related or not, but wanted to ask for ideas on here. I don't think she's suffering, but am a little worried she might be if left.
I've tried moving her home to a colder room (the outhouse) and have even tried putting her in the fridge (under advice from someone who knows more about sals than me.) - but nothing seems to really help. Any suggestions?
