Hey guys
I havent posted in such a long time (mainly due to re decorating and being busy) but ive come back because something seems awfully wrong with Stimpy
normally hes so energetic, full of life n very cheeky. last two days hes done nothing but lay out, move very little, not eat but he is pooing on a regular basis still, and his eyes are always closed. hes very limp and lifeless when you pick him up...he will open his eyes for a minute then closes them again.
He will literally lay where you put him back and wont move. it appears like hes brumating but very early in the year.
i put him in his bath and he drank alot of water, and i gave him more in a syringe which he drank. hes refused to drink anything for a few days so this was a relief at least but he still looks dehydrated.
I havent changed his diet, nothing new has been added or removed from his tank.
His tank is 4ft long, 2ft wide and 2ft tall with a mega ray MVB 100W (think its 100, ill check soon)
His diet consists of rocket, and mixed dark greens. strawberries, blue berries, black crickets, meal worm
Im in a really bad situation with Vets in the area because there isnt anyone locally that has any reptile knowledge. the closest vet that speialises in reptiles is a 2 hour drive away and aint back in the opffice until thursday. all our local vets are for dogs, cats, birds etc etc
Im getting really concerned know im really hoping someone here has some advice
