Hi guys,
So about a week ago we adopted a baby from Petsmart. Everything was well until a few days ago. The little guy started acting really lethargic and not eating. So we took him back to have him looked at as per the adoption policy.
They held him for observation the past couple of days so their vet could check him out. The vet said he didn't find anything wrong and today they let us take him back stating that he had perked up, was running around, and had eaten.
We got him home and he seemed to be doing better at first but now he's gone to the corner of his tank and hasn't moved much since I left for work. I tried offering him some food but he wouldn't take it.
Since the vet has ruled out impaction and MBD does anybody else know what might be causing this behavior? Their thoughts were the sudden temperature change and the start of a shedding but I'm worried about him not eating. He's only a few months old at most so I don't think it could be brumation.
This is him after we got him home today:
