Not Eating

[Zookeeper]

My full-grown tegu, Tandi, (who I rescued last summer), has been eating regularly until 8 days ago. She has stopped eating but otherwise seems to be alright and walks around when I take her outside. She is shedding but that hasn't stopped her from eating in the past. It has been very warm here. She ate well all winter long, so she is not thin. Should I be concerned or give her a few more days?

My female tegu does that sometime. She'll kinda take a brake from food for a few days and she goes back to normal.

Thanks! It's been about 9 days now. Has your tegus ever gone that long without eating?

That long? Only just around the brumation. She usually does not go pass a week.

Often a sudden refusal to eat is the result of an intestinal impaction. Has she passed any stools lately?
