Russian will not wake up!

bmulcahy May 10, 2006 07:23 PM

Any suggestions for getting a Russian to come out of brumation? He moves a little each day and doesn't eat. Has been this way for months - vet said he was fine.

If this is an obviously lethargic spring for your russian and you're certain something may be wrong, then pursue another vet, or ask this one for a more detailed health panal (was bloodwork done?).

Other things you may check is of course your temperatures, lighting cycles, and perhaps even the intensity of your light. Are the uv bulbs old? Anything different from last year?

Good luck

Ian
