Not eating after medication?

I have 2 leos, both on worm medication and one is also taking congestion medicine. They haven't eaten in a few days. :main_no: I've used baby food mixed with vitamins on them before with a prior issue when they weren't interested in food, so I assume i'll have to do this again because they will be on medication for 3 weeks. How long can a leo go without eating, and whats the best flavor of baby food to use?

THey can go for quite awhile. I have one that often goes for up to 6 months. At the moment he's 90 grams but will probably stop eating soon. I've been told chicken works well for them.

Are your leos healthy? I routinely have females go of food for 4-6 weeks during the breeding season. They barely lose any weight until they begin producing eggs and once they do they eat with a vengeance. If your leo has a nice fat tail I wouldn't worry about fasting at all. it's normal and pushing food on him in liquid form could make things worse if he has a good reason for not eating.
