Something is wrong with my new week old bts
Posted: Tue Jan 17, 2023 12:25 pm
I just got a new blue tongue skink, hes about two weeks old now. He's been very active n happy. Keeps pooping on me tho, Idk if that means anything but he only really poos n pees on me lol. He's been very strange tho since I was giving him the wet cat food from the store that they gave me for free n I had it in a airtight container, not thinking, I didn't refridgerate it n had it there for 3 days or so in the container after the original packet was opened. It had a nastier smell so Ig it went off a lil bit? I got wet dog food with veges in it n the same meat. He had a lil bit after not eating that whole day but refused to eat it initially n later went back to it in his enclosure. He hasn't eaten today n yesterday at all. I have tried n left stuff but nothing n he's still pooing. I can also see his spine lightly so yeaa
He refuses to eat n he is pooing regularly but his poos r light brown n soft with lots of uric acid n less blobby normal urate. Its long n mushed. He sleeps a lot but is then active at night time so Idek what's going on
He could be sick from the cat food that was potentially off?
I didn't get a heat lamp since the lady said nah dw cause the hot summer weather. But I will get one now. Also can I hook it up to a casual desk lamp with a plastic nosel brim thingo? Is that alr like it won't melt it or cause any troubles? Cause I have a metal one n proper for the uvb 5 one
He has a parasite?
He isn't hot enough?
He is full from the decent amount of food I gave him a few days ago?
He seems to trust me since he never hisses if he knows its me n snuggles up to me n closes both eyes n moves around all over me so I have no clue n I'm stressing cause I love im sm
