Hello all! So as of today, my Iggy is refusing to eat anything. He is going through a heavy shed at the moment as you can see below although I don't know if that is the reason for this. When I picked him up out of the feeding container just now, he instantly jumped out of my hands and onto my shoulder, very much clinging to me. He has been very clingy for the past few days so I will say that. Iggy's also been scratching himself on whatever he has been able to find and as a result, I've been giving him a bath or two throughout the day in order to help with his discomforts. What I'm most worried about is a black spot that I found on his snout, seen below.
Here is a general picture showing the shedding that Iggy's going through as of this moment.
Should I be worried about any of this that's taking place? I'm particularly worried that he's not eating anything as of this morning, it's most definitely not like him to do that. He's just ignoring his food and wanting to escape the feeding container. I should further mention that Iggy loves bath-time, so in no way am I stressing him out with frequent bathings He just sits there and closes his eyes every now and then, soaking up the heat from the water and even sometimes taking a drink from the water. Every now and then, he'll also take a toilet break in there (otherwise he'll do it in the vivarium).
