3. In-depth answers to hot issues
1.Food refusal treatment plan: Recently, a video of a blogger with 3 million fans on a hunger strike caused heated discussion. Experts recommend first checking whether the ambient temperature is up to standard, and then trying to change live feed (for example, Dubia cockroaches are more attractive than mealworms). If you do not eat for 3 days, you need to seek medical attention.
2.Environmental Enrichment Techniques: The Douyin topic #ClimbingPetMansion has exceeded 100 million views. It is recommended to set up a multi-layer climbing structure. Temperature gradients should be configured in different temperature zones. The shelter hole should accommodate at least the whole body. The preferred mat material is coconut palm or professional reptile carpet.
3.Key points of calcium supplementation: The latest guidelines of the China Reptile Association point out that larvae need calcium powder (including D3) 3 times a week, combined with UVB light for 8-10 hours a day. The "calcium powder production tutorial" shown in the hot video is misleading. It is recommended to purchase professional reptile calcium powder.

2. "The bigger the cage, the better" (controversial rating 45%): Too much space will make it difficult for the larvae to hunt, so it should be configured at 1.5 times the body size.
3. "You can mix different breeds together" (risk factor 88%): A recent video of a case of mixed breeding leading to mutual injuries has received tens of millions of views.
