Can't get hobbes back on his feeds, tried him last week after shed, and last night, and no joy, tried braining, tried leaving him be,I can't see any signs of illness, no weezing, bubbles, mucus, pooed fine, clean water, correct temps, am gunna try a smaller prey item tommorow,
I just don't understand it, he was feeding perfect no trouble, then he sheds and nuh uh. I'm worried cos he was skinny as he was, I mean he seems livley still climbing around, good tounge movement, ect.. Any hints.

Reptoboost or Critical Care for the water if you want something to add. From 580g I wouldn't start to worry at all until he hit 500g personally. |

I'm just worried as he was already a low weight for his age, and he is quiet slender, he has dropped 5g since his shed in a week. From 582 to 577. And how much would you say is too much? Jus makes me sad cos, I want him to be health n happy cos he's so lovley. Is that water stuff a good idea? Uhm mercy something? |

Yes, don't try him tomorrow, leave at least 5 days between attempts to feed or you'll just stress them out more. Its very common for Royals not to eat for long periods, its how nature designed them, I have one coming up to 3 months without eating. If he doesn't eat, weigh and keep track to make sure they aren't losing too much. |
