Lester is probably about 10-12 months old and we started have trouble with him about 2 months ago. After a month of refusing to eat (I force fed a couple times a week) and acting increasingly lethargic we took him to the vet. She said it was brumation which he clearly had all the signs for, I just thought he was too young. She said he should snap out of it in a couple weeks and gave me a bag of Critical Care to feed him if he started losing too much weight.
He's seems fully awake again and has been for about 2 weeks now. The problem is he's still refusing to eat on his own. I've offered him a decent variety of food but he just turns his nose up and walks away so I've been continuing the Critical Care. I think he's hooked on it or something because he laps it right off the tip of the feeder syringe and waits for more.
Has anyone else had this problem? What do I do to get him to eat his actual food? I can't afford to go back to the vet for bloodwork this month.
