Eating problem

daygecko Dec 23, 2005 05:14 AM

Hello and thanks for the helpers
i have a 12 month old male Yemen
he lately stopped eating..i offer him everything but he just won't eat
he spends some time on the surface of the cage..
he has UV lights , and a heating bulb

What might be the problem?
Should i force feed him?

More information is needed about his cage set-up, etc....temperature, etc. to be able to give you an answer. Its possible that he's not eating because its just the normal slowing down that comes with his age or the time of year...but to be sure we need to know more.

IMHO its not a good idea to force feed a chameleon unless you have no other alternative.

What do you mean by spends a lot of time on the surface of the cage? Top?
