Ok so you have good UVB -- 8-10 inches directly above the basking decor piece please
No I dont think the eye issue would cause her not to be eating- is she eating at all ? Please take the probe thermometer and place on the hammock under the basking light- get the surface basking temp from there- it should be 105-110- how long has she been off the meds? This could be effecting the appetite- are you still force feeding her or is she eating anything on her own?
Yes, that is how I measured the temp at the basking spot. We moved the probe over to get it out of the way, but the exact basking spot is in the temperature range.
She will not eat on her own at all, just force feeding (I described what we have been doing with the feeding in my original post up at the top of this thread). We even sneak bugs and worms into her mouth to "remind her", but no luck. She is literally not interested in food, but is clearly hungry as she doesn't really fight the force feeding. The question I'm trying to figure out is strategies for getting her to eat on her own again, as my worry is the longer the force feeding goes on, the harder it will be to change. We have tried not feeding her at all for a couple of days and still nothing.
She's been off the meds for about 2 weeks. She is still hungry, and even opens her mouth sometimes, but expecting the food to be there. Its like she has forgotten that she has to eat as I described above - or lost the will. Before this she was a really good eater, much better than our other beardie.
