Hi all! I just joined, I haven't really read over the rules so sorry if I am breaking any of them by posting in here I'm just worried! My boy is named Iroh! I got him almost 4 days ago. I have watched a bunch of videos read other forums and other articles just to get info on care and other things, but one thing I havent been able to find a clear answer on is why he isn't eating. I change his food everyday. Ive been giving him store bet grass pellets mixed with water, then kale, carrots, peppers, and melon. He hasn't touched his food once as far as I know. He just burrows into the substrate and basks with his eyes closed. He hasn't moved from one spot in over a day (he is definitely alive though he moves his head occasionly.) I force soaked him yesterday and he struggled but i noticed he started drinking immediately as if he were dehydrated, but shortly after he climbed out and burrowed back into the same spot. I made him a homemade temporary hiding spot just so he could have some solitude but he doesn't use it. I'm am just very worried and do not know what to do.
