If I were you... more like, if this were my monitor... I'd double check that my temps were correct and then go to a vet. Every time one of my animals has had a problem like this, it's been parasites.

It reveals the depth to which evolution can sink when it takes the downward path and strips animals to the irreducible minimum able to perpetuate a predatory life in its naked horror."

You can try tweeking your setup maybe something is off?

If it is an import you could have a fecal run to check for parasites.

You can try offering smaller amounts of food. It's easier to digest one slice of pizza the the whole pie my friend.

Good luck with your little one.

yeah check the temps like someone said
also maybe it was caused by to much handleing after the meal
