I posted last week about a loss of appetite but taking into consideration that he was shedding and the upheaval of a new home, I wasn't too concerned.
Now Finn is around 9 weeks old and finished his shedding. For the last three days all I could get him to eat is a couple of crickets and a couple of waxworms. He doesn't really drink but we've bathed him and he seems to like it.
I've double checked temps/position of lights etc, his poops don't seem out of the ordinary although today's it was smaller but that would be the lack of food. He has been a bit sleepier today but I guess that would also be lack of food.
I just mashed up some calci worms and crickets with a touch of water to make a paste, dabbed it on his nose and he had about three licks worth before settling down for a bask. Ahh eat Finn!!!!! What can I do to get his appetite back bearing in mind he seems to be in fine health otherwise?? He's not all skin and bones yet but at what point should I be concerned and take him to a vet?
And is there anything particular fattening/energising I could dab on his nose while his appetite is down just to keep him going?
Any advice much appreciated
