Not Eating

[Geoff]

So my little guy who is about 9" has just stopped eating...

in the last week he has only had maybe one cricket.

I thought he might be shedding but he finished that up 5 days ago and continues to eat nothing.

I have offered him all sorts of veggies, Crickets, wax worms, red runners, and even baby food.

I have tried in and out of his tank with no results....

He will lick baby food off my fingers but nothing else....

He is still super active but he is starting to look skinnier and I am getting worried...

Should I just keep offering him food or?

How old is he?

Do you think he is about to shed again? When my beardies were younger and growing, they would finish shedding and then the next day start shedding again :roll: But that was ok, it was just them growing.

Is he pooping like normal?

What substrate do you use?

Have you gave him a bath recently?

Keep offering him food...

 

[Geoff]

Not sure of age, I have had him for about a Month and half now...

He doesn't appear to be shedding.... he usually darkens up/rubs on everything before shedding and he is doing neither.

His poop today had nothing in it(probably due to not eating) His last successful poop was normal.

He was bathed yesterday but needs another one because he ran around in the baby food I offered him :roll:

as for substrate, he is on repti-carpet with a dish of sand that he digs in from time to time....(I have not seen any sand in his poop)

The hottest part of his tank is ~120F(stick right below his light) his basking spot is ~107 and the coolest part of the tank is 78F.

All temps are taken using a digital thermometer... Humidity is usually at mid 30s -> low 40s(he has no water in his tank)

 

[Geoff]

Didn't eat anything today...

His poop was consistent but green/clear most likely from the baby food.

He still seems very active and runs around his cage but is not interested in any kind of food.

any suggestions?

 

[Geoff]

Still nothing....

Ordered some reptiworms the will be here by the end of the week and I will pick up some waxworms for him tomorrow....

anyone have any ideas why he would just stop eating?

 

[Geoff]

Any other thoughts???

I picked him up some wax worms yesterday and he excitedly ate one then left the rest alone.

Ate nothing today....

It has been almost 2 weeks with the only food consumption being 2 cricks, a wax worm, a piece of an apple, and some baby food....

He has eaten less in the last 2 weeks then he used to in one session....

any ideas? he finished shedding like 10 days ago so that is not likely the cause....
