Hello, I'm sure this has been asked before but I was wondering if anyone had tips because I've asked a fairly knowledgeable friend who's not sure what else I can do bar getting pure calcium and trying a UVB light. The calcium I dust his food with has other additives which I've read shouldn't be left for him to help himself. He hasn't eaten for 2 weeks (he may have had 2 mealworms but they could be hiding in the tank)
About your leo:
- Sex M
- Age & Weight Approx 7/8 years. Weight 80g (he has lost a bit of weight but I've been told judging how he looks now he could have been a bit overweight)
- How long have you owned your leo Approx 7 Years
- Where was he/she obtained (ex. Pet store, breeder, wild caught, friend) Pet Store
A) Health/History
- How often do you handle your leo a few times a week
- Is your leo acting any different today? If so how does he/she normally act which differs from now. He seems more lethargic than usual. Hasn't eaten for 2 weeks
- Has he/she had any problems in the past, if so please describe. No
B) Fecals
- Describe (look any different than normal) Slight Weight loss in tail
- When was the last time he/she went Possibly 1 1/2 to 2 weeks
C) Problem
- Please briefly describe the problem and how long it has been going on Not eating, when offered food from tongs he turns away. Seems lethargic and is basking in a different spot in the tank. He usually hides in a warm corner but now he's on a warm open area on rocks.
Housing:
A) Enclosure
- Size Min 20 Gallon, its a double glass door setup
- Type (ex. glass tank) Glass, front sliding doors
- Type of substrate Reptile Carpet (are tiles a better option)
- Hides, how many, what kind Cold hide, log hide in middle of tank, damp hide in warm side, warm hide he uses as a toilet and usually hides at the back of it
B) Heating
- Heat source Mat
- Cage temps (hot side, cool side) Hot side during day 30-32c, I have woken up to it being 27c in morning, is that too cold? Cold side 24-26 during day
- Method of regulating heat source The heat mat has a regulator
- What are you using to measure your temps a plugged in probe, heard they are not very accurate though
- Do you have any lights (describe) A red heat bulb but whenever I put it on he hides so its not used. It was recommended by a reptile shop but it seems too hot.
C) Cage mates
- How many (males, females) 0
- Describe health, or previous problems He looks healthy
Describe Diet:
A) Typical diet
- What you're feeding (how often, how much) He was on crickets when younger but mealworms for last 4 years when he stopped eating crickets. He has eaten waxworms in past occasionally. I've offered mealworms, black crickets and waxworms last week and he's refused all.
- How are you feeding (hand fed, left in dish, ect) Dish
B) Supplements (describe how often) Usually twice a week.
- What vitamin/minerals are you using (list brands) CALCI-DUST and Nutrobal both by vetark
