    Re: Can anyone help?

    oopss!! missed the bit about feeding. 1 pinky is usually enough for him as it does leave a rather large bulge in his belly, as his body isnt much thicker than a pinky, i offer him seconds if he still looks hungry, but doesnt always have it. hes always been a bit of a reluctant feeder and i do have to move his food around alot before he takes it.

    my guys will never take food straight away. even if they are right next to it, they will always wait about 5 hours before eating it.

    you say hes a reluctant feeder, have you tried just leaving it for a while. even overnight. mine would only ever feed at night when i first got them... probably a security thing for them.

    Right, have moved him to a warmer place this morning so will try feeding again in a day or two so he gets settled. I have tried leaving food in overnight before and hes not been interested, definitely seems to be movement that triggers his feeding response. Even if he does eat now ive moved him think i'll still take him to the vet, just to check everything is ok with him.
