OK, now I am getting worried. My 4-month old BD has stopped eating. For two days now, he just

sits in his feeding cage and doesn't move. I can't tell if he is eating greens or not but he has pooped regularly so he is eating something. Before, when he shed he stopped eating but not for two days. My vet is out until Monday but I will bring in a fecal tomorrow (if he poops tomorrow). I ordered some Parazap today and I will start him on that whatever the outcome of this is... What else can I do? How do I make him eat??? thanks

is he still basking? active? have you double checked your temps? is he about to shed again? is he kept well hydrated? if he is otherwise normal you might want to wait a couple more days before taking any actiion such as handfeeding etc, sometimes these guys just slow down, especially before a shed. let us know about your set up and his behaviour and perhaps we can be more of a help.
