baby uro not eating

stickytoes4me Mar 19, 2005 10:05 AM

I just got a mali uro who is about 3 months old. I got it 2 days ago and so far it has not touched its food. Any suggestions? Should I be worried yet or is it just adjusting to a new home?
Thanks

Hi there! Not eating for a fewdays in pretty normal and goes along with adjusting to a new home. Keep an eye on the little one though after a week if it does not eat. There will typically be a longer aclcimation period as well if it is WC (wild caught) versus CBB (Captive Bred/Born). Also, make sure the temps are adequate as well. Basking at around 120 and low end 85.

Keep us posted!!!
