I did offer him live and frozen(defrosted ofcourse) pinkies. No joy
I bothered him a lot yesterday and managed to feed him two dubias. Better than nothing. It seems that he doesnt want to open mouth. Also it dodges food, turn arround and burrows.
I will try crickets too.
If not i'll force feed him.

Any ideias why he doesnt want to open up that mouth? This guy never had problems eating. Sometimes he needs a honey bath he poops and eats again that's all.

He doesnt have any uvb light or things like that. But if you believe that would help i can get one. Just a led and ceramic heater.
Sometimes when they come out of aestivation their personality seems to change. They may be more likely to bite, change their preferred food, or just be even more lazy. It doesn't happen with all individuals, but some seem to not want to eat and just burrow back down.

Sometimes all they need to spark their appetite is to just eat something. I'm going to recommend that when you force feed that you use Repta-Boost. Follow the instructions. This can act as an appetite stimulant.

Do stop with the honey baths. Try just warm water. Using the honey bath too often can be harmful.

UVB can be beneficial, but is not necessary. You can try it out and use it as a form of supplemtation.

When you offer food is it dark in the room and the enclosure?
