Getting desperate
Hello all. I'm not sure if I'm over thinking the situation or reaching for straws so I thought I'd ask. My normally voracious eating Cal King has refused food for the past 3 weeks and I'm not quite sure why. There haven't been any major changes in his behavior but he doesn't seems to be quite as active as usual. His temps are spot on (76/85). He hasn't had any significant weight loss but I think he looks a tad bit slimmer (hard to be sure). I was wondering if the change in outside temperatures might be affecting his appetite. It's getting cooler here but his viv temps are pretty stable. I also wasn't sure if the change in daylight hours was throwing him off so I've been turning off his UTH during the day and using a 75 watt heating light. I'm trying to better simulate a day/night effect since the room he's in only get's modest natural sunlight. I turn the light off at night and turn the UTH back on. Is this a good idea? Someone also mentioned that he may be getting ready to brumate and that could knock him off feed for a while. Not sure what to do about that. Like I said I'm running out of ideas and just want to get him eating again. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated. TIA and have a great day!
