I need some help. one of our iguana's has stopped eating and has started to lose weight. he is also, not active. He is in a large enclosure with another smaller iguana. this one is about a year old and about 16 inches or so in size. the other iguana is smaller, around 12 inches. there are 2 basking spots using megaray UV bulbs and temps run depending on where they bask from about a high of 110 to as low as 80. there are many branches at different heights. The food has not changed since we have had these 2 and they have always been together. They have been in the new enclosure for a a month or 2. the smaller one is very active and growing. also, he is eating well as food definitely is being eaten and his body is fat. the one not eating is deteriorating.

i am open to ideas here so any help on what to do or how to force feed would be great. The enclosure is from jworlds and is about 6ft long x 2ft wide by 6ft tall with a large water fall and lots of basking as well as hiding spots.
