Hello, I have an argentine bw tegu (Among many other animals). He went into hibernation in November, (Wouldn't hibernate at pet store) and has been asleep since. He is not dead, I wake him up every day, I have for a month. He just goes right back to sleep. He doesn't eat anything. His temps are 75-95 ambients, 120 basking. He has 10.0 UVB. He is losing weight since he is not waking up. I have removed most of his substrate, since others have suggested it. He is shedding now, but he is constantly losing weight. I can see his hip bones. When I take him out, he moves strongly, he doesn't appear weak. Should I force feed him? (I really hate the idea but I'm desperate.) He is only 16 inches. If he continues to lose weight like this it won't be a good situation. Thanks.
