I have had this guy for approx 1 year which would make him about 1 and a half years old (give or take a month) and he has never really had what you would call a "good appetite" for a dragon even at a young age, but has always ate something and kept his weight on. Recently he has found a way to make a blanket for himself in the corner of the tank underneith the cabinet liner I use for substrate. He slept for 9 days straight before finally emerging. He seems like he has energy and is running back and forth in the tank, but still will not eat or drink anything and hasnt had a bowel movement in probably close to a month. I understand that if he isnt eating, then obviously he isnt going to poop neither.. but is this normal or should I be worried? He looks as if he is starting to loose a little bit of weight, but then again I havnt seen him for almost 2 weeks. I have kept fresh greens daily and I just went and got him a small pinky thinking maybe it would intice him a bit. He grabbed ahold of it one time, it squeeled and he freaked out dropped it and wont touch it now. I dont know what to do or even if I should be worried. I left the pinky in the tank for the time being hoping that he will pick it up and eat it sooner or later just to get something in his belly. What do you guys think?
