Brumiating?

Biancaaaaaaaa Jul 04, 2004 08:07 PM

Hi There
For the last 5 days my baby Oscar has just been sitting in the shade staring into space.....he hasn't moved once, not even when I've offered him food. So what do I do? Do I leave the light cycle as normal 12hrs on 12 off? should I keep offering him food? What about bathing, should I disturb him to give him a soak or is he better off left alone?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Bianca

How long has it been since you changed your UVB light? I change mine every 4 months. (recommended is 6 months). I could always tell when it was about time, he would do the same thing as yours.

I would give him a bath, change his light...he might be good as new...if that doesn't work, I would take him to the vet (or at least talk to one).
