Unusual, not eating.

Postby bluecheezytree » Fri Nov 16, 2007 3:04 pm

Ringo is being unusual lately. I have offered Ringo food every night around 6:30 (lights go out at 10) He doesn't look at it, he turns his head away at it! He walks around, but doesn't seem to want to eat at all! He hasn't eat since A little bit before Tuesday. He signals to me that he is hungry alot. He is also trying to escape ALOT. He is always climbing up the wall and being naughty. Help!

I'd say either he's planning to shed and that's messing with his appetite & behavior, or the winter coming is affecting him, in which case he may be looking for a nice place to bunker down.

Sounds like maybe brunation is setting in. Give the caresheet a good review and see if it rings any bells with regard to these new actions from your buddy. :wink:

He is doing great otherwise! He shed recently and is growing fast! He ate when I left it in his cage, and when i went to check on him, he ran away! :noknow: :chin: He is extremely sweet though.
