Health Question

Hey Guys,

I noticed that my little rhino has lost a bit of weight
around the head of his tail BUT his belly still seems
VERY plump. I had him in a large cage for a while and it seemed he
was never near the basking light. He didn't seem to be eating too
much either. So I moved him back to the
smaller cage. He seems to be eating like a pig again, but I'm
a bit worried.

Any thoughts? Might it be parasites?

If he would not go under the basking light, maybe the average temp for the entire cage was a bit on the warm side. Back in old cage perhaps less stressful.
