Another brumating question

Gecko2525 Oct 08, 2003 08:12 PM

My BD has done the same thing too (sleep), expect he hasn't lost any weight (post below). Now I have been treating him for Coccidia, but he is STILL very healthy. Now for the past 2 weeks he hasn't touched his salad, but we will eat moving food.

He just sits there and opens his eyes once in awhile. I also walk by kind of worried. He almost looks unhappy or lazy. I have caught him basking only once maybe.

I have him on my lap right now and he is sleeping and very cold. I thought my warmth would warm him and he can still sleep.

I was a bit more worried because of the Coccidia but my vet says he is very healthly. Do you think I should take him to the vet and get a fecal, but he also hasn't gone to the bathroom in 2 weeks. I use papertowel and proper size crickets so I'm not worried about impation either.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Liz

I would get him back into the vet for another fecal check. Are you trying warm soaks to get him to poop? Any other info you could offer us that might help???
