If 34 days, you have a big problem, but if 3-4 days, as long as thermal gradient of 76ish to 115-120f and a hide near cooler end, then don't worry. Most tegus, young and old, are rattled from the change of circumstances. If healthy, it'll eat in a few days. You can also try slitted f/t rodents of appropriate size.
