Can only get him to drink a little bit at a time and lick up some raw egg. I tried ground up turkey that everyone seems to like so much and nothing, scrambled eggs, banana, mango, apple, and he just doesn't seem interested. I've had him for 4 days now and I took him to the vet to make sure he wasn't sick and the vet gave him an x-ray and clean bill of health. I had suspected a respiratory infection so she gave him an antibiotic shot to kill it off. His burrow temp is 90-100 and his basking outside temp is 110. He is a little over a year old and a black and white and super active/curious when outside his cage and super nice. He spends most of the time in his burrow when he is in his cage (but that's normal I think because that is where the humidity is) and it is 5.5 ft by 5.5 foot.
I know he is stressed from moving homes but I just don't know how many days he can go without some real meat. I've been soaking him in the tub in warm water also. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I am kind of just a scared new mama also. Do you think he is just slowing down because it is winter? I just wish he would eat something
I left him alone with the ground up turkey today with raw egg drizzled on it but I left so he didn't feel like I was watching him and I didn't notice any turkey gone really but maybe he took a bite? =/ Any help is appreciated
The old owner fed him with tongs I know so I think he just really hates bowls but even if i hold the food up to his face it makes no difference
