I've got a male fattie I had shipped to me 3 weeks ago. I'm worried because he hasn't really eaten since I got him (maybe 1 or 2 small mealworms; he's used to mealworms and ignored crickets when I offered them). I've managed to get the temps on the warm side to 85F - 89F, although the previous owner kept him at 94F. I know he was completely healthy when I received him, and his tail is still quite fat.
I'm wondering if he could be off feed because of shipping stress still, or if it's the somewhat lower temps, or if I should relax because the cooler temps of shipping put him into a winter cool down. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks!
