Baby Blue Tongue Not Eating

Postby granchito » Mon Aug 20, 2018 5:15 pm

I recently got a two month old halmahera bts which was captive born. I didn't try to feed him the first day as to let him adjust, but I did the next day. He ate great that days and for 3 days after that. Since then though he hasn't eaten for the past three days. He has still been pooping and peeing, but no eating more than licking of the gravy in the dog food. It does look like its possible that he is about to begin a shed is it possible that that could be the issue? Anyways thanks for your help and sorry if this just sounds like a new owner worrying to much.

Sometimes an impending shed will affect their appetite. Try some different foods to entice him, see what happens. He may just be a bit anti-social if he is indeed going to shed, and if that's the case just give it a little time. I have some that eat right through their shed periods and some that just disappear. They're all different just like we are.
