Well like I said the first day I left a fuzzy in there an he ate it, the rest of the times I just left more food on the plate and didnt bother him in his hide. Just recently I took him out of his hide to see whats going on. I am just worried because he is VERY skinny, has no meat on his legs and his stomach is really flat. I will see if I can get a pic up so you can see what I am talking about. I have 125-130 hotspot, 2 retes hides, huge soak bowl, 75 soil/ 25 sand mixture for substrate that I spray down daily. As far as husbandry I think everything is good to go. The whole not eating thing is really whats bothering me. When I got him out he didn't seemed stressed or anything, I didnt have to hold him tight, he just sat on my hand and looked around, was not the slightest bit agressive. That worried me as well because usualy babies are pretty wild from my exp. and he is a farm bred monitor. I am not super reptile man or anything but I have had Niles, Savs and Black throats and never seen a baby not have a hunger for food, usualy i was worried about over feeding.



You are possibly right, mabey I just need to let him chill for longer, surley he won't die of starvation, but who knows.
