Cleaning and changing leo\'s cage question?

[gecko_paws]

Well I just cleaned and changed my two leo's litter and cage two weeks ago and now they just aren't eating as much or if even at all. I still see feces so I guess that means they are eating alright, but I don't see them eat, and they use to eat from my hand when I fed them.

Tobu would eat about 15 mealworms and Bushuu would eat about 10 from my hand now they don't eat anything. Is this because the seasons are changing or because I changed their cage and their just growing acustomed to the scent. I soaked the cage with bleach for 10 minutes and washed it out like it says to do it. Dried the tank off and everything.....

My lizards went spastic all over the cage when I put them back in. They roam around the cage for at least an hour after I changed it. Could it be that their stressed out and just need a treat and time to settle in?

You should be cleaning their cage more often than once every two weeks.

The spastic behavior is normal for leos after having their cages messed with, but it usually doesn't take them too long to settle down.

The change in eating could be the season, or could be that they're a little stressed. How old are they? It sounds from their appetite before that they're growing kids. It may be they've hit a growth plateau and are taking a break from eating, several of mine have done that from time to time, and it can drive you nuts. Try different food items, and try different sized food items as well. They can be picky sometimes.

Get a fecal exam on them as a precaution. It doesn't hurt to get one once or twice a year anyway.
