hello,i have got two separated rhacos,a male and a female.they have stopped eating properly as they are too much thin to my point of view.
i really don't know what to do to make them hungry,the male doesn't seem interested by crickets and the female in another terra never goes down from the tree there is in her home.
i think if i don't feed them with baby mixed fruits i don't think they would be in a good health.
please help me

Ok, what are the temps of the vivs & how are you heating them, one of the most common reasons why they stop eating is either to cool or stressed.

so the males terra is about 25°c by day and by night 20°C
the same for the female.
in the female's terra there is a heating "carpet" you don't the stuff you stick on a side of the vivarium to make some heat.
they have got coconut ground ans plastic plants.

Theirs no need to feed them crickets anyway,aslong as they are eating their cgd or baby food,if your currently feeding them baby food I would switch over to the crestie diet as baby food has not got alot in it apart from sugar.
