My Spinipes is Sulking

[Chrisreptile]

hi all, i had completely redone my angle heads enclosure about 3 or 4 days ago and for about 3 of them the angles have just been laying on there branches together with there eyes closed. i thought that they would do this so i fed them up before we redone it so they should be able to go a little while longer.

my question is,
how long until they get over there sulking?
has anyone else experienced this?
is there any tricks to get them out of it?

cheers

[Chrisreptile]

yeh, tried that,
i gave one a drink and tried to get a cricket in his mouth,
but he refused and kept his eyes closed.

theyre just sleeping and not caring about anything.

From what i've read its a common drama.
I have heard that it occurs at times for days on end.
No idea how to alter the situation though.

[Chrisreptile]

Mine never sulked, but got any earthworms or freshly moulted mealworms?

 

[Chrisreptile]

yeh, i can get some worms, what were ya thinking mags?

 

[Magpie]

Offer him a worm, mine could never resist anything that wiggled.
Once they eat they usually stop sulking don't they?

 

[dragon_tail]
