dunno just not right

Mushu's not been himself recently he's not been eating his greens, he's been staying in his log so much in the morning I'd have to take away the log and put him on his basking spot. Thoughts?

Wouldn't mind knowing this either as Moe has been very similar lately. Having to get him out of bed and put him on his basking rock... he's wide awake just refuses to shift himself the lazy so and so lol.

How old is Mushu?
How are your temps?
How old is your UVB?
Are you in a country where winter is starting soon?

 

[Joshandmushu]

Mushus about 11 and a half months old
temperatures about 106 f on basking spot and low 70s on cool side
UVB's about 3-4 months old
and I'm in the uk so it's spring now.

Oh and by the way he's just gone back into his log.

You could always try tweaking your temps a bit, just in case he prefers the basking spot cooler now that he is older.... maybe about 103 in basking? :roll: Your coolside temps could be raised just a tad as well... between 78-82 degrees.
At his age it could just be a hormonal/puberty phase he is going through.
Are you using the Arcadia 12% or a Reptisun 10?
If he is not losing weight and looks otherwise healthy... it could just be a phase and he will snap out of it soon.
