Hi,
He is being kept on bark/coconut fiber/soil mixture with moss/hides/logs/rocks around the exhibit. Temps in the room are at least 75-80, but he has his own heater on one side as well so he can adjust as needed. He has not eaten on his own for several months. We let him go a month without force feeding to see if he needed to calm down, but that didn't work. He is burrowing at night and coming out during the day and appears fairly active. At this point he has lost enough weight that I'm beginning to be concerned.
I'm waiting for a fecal to determine if parasites are an issue. He went through our quarantine with no outward issues other than not eating.
Thanks for any and all replies.

K
