Offer it a variety of greens (kale, mustard, collards, bok choy, dandelion, peas). Make sure it is being kept warm enough - try a 150 watt reptile basking light about 12 inches from the bottom of the cage. Take it's poo to a certified reptile vet, get a fecal exam, find out if it has worms, and treat it with neccesary meds if needed. These are very important suggestions, but these things should be done with your uro as soon as possible if it is skinny and not eating - especially the heat lamp and the variety of food.

try beans, (red lentils, green peas is what i feed mine)do not feed kidney beans however. Also try crickets or waxies once a week, maybe 2 or 3 at the most.
Good luck.
During this time they are brumating so they wont eat much. Mine lost alot of weight. But its all ok.
Good luck
