Loss of Appetite

[Animalnstinct]

Hi Guys,

Thought I would bump this up to see if anyone could help me out. He has lost more weight and I'm desperate for any answers.

As of tonight I put him in a rubber tub with moist paper towel and I tried to get him to eat a worm by gently rubbing it on his mouth, but no luck. I put him in a dark area of the room but I'm not to sure what to do from here.

Any suggestions on what to do would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

If he keeps burrowing and losing weight my only suggestion would be don't give him a chance to burrow and keep him on papertowel substrate.

try a pinkie if he's up to size.

Sounds like you know what you're doing, but make sure he/she is warm. If it keeps burying, the temps could be off. Hope things get better, good luck.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I really appreciate it!

I checked with a friend locally in town on pinkies and he was out. He had small frozen white mice though and I did try one of those. No interest at all.

I just don't understand why he is doing this. He is in a controlled room and is at 78-81 degrees, 70% humidty, plus additional from me spraying the tank down once in the morning and at night

I'm going to try and order a few other things online for him to eat. Maybe I'll get lucky and find something he feels comfortable with. I'm just scared he won't make it that long. Once again, thank you guys!
