Your Ig knows where your food is...believe me. Every morning I put Freddy in his water tank to soak for a little while and while he does that I get his food ready. I use disposable little paper plates and load them withh collard greens, dandelion greens, green beans, and squash. After I put the new plate in, I close his enclusre and go to work. Usually, he is in his water tank when I leave. When I come home, his food is gone...and it's on a totally different level of the enclosure than where he hangs out. The point is, if he's hungry, he'll go find food. I would listen to what the folks around here tell you to feed your ig...i did, and freddy is growing fast as hell. Anyway, good luck, and keep us posted.

: hey, when i put food in the aquarium for Egor, i sprinkle a couple leaves of collard around him to show him there's food in there for him. well, today he ate what was around him, but nothing out of his dish. is he spoiled? also, i had been feeding him a lot of lettuce for about a week and i gave him a treat of pears and oranges and tomatos, and he didn't touch them. he didn't eat at all yesterday. today i put him in the bathtub for about 30 min. and he pooped 3 times (quite big). y doesnt' he eat out of his dish any more? is he spoiled and is there any way i can get him to eat out of it again? about the sprinkling it in the tank, if i dont', he won't know it's there (i guess), and won't eat any thing. that's y i do it.
