My five year old Hermanns is not eating, he’s also not walking around like usual. He is tending to just lay instead of standing and walking. He isn’t tempted my any food. I have him outside with me when it’s warm out , but isn’t interested in roaming.
a couple of times outside yesterday he would raise his backend, so wondering if he’s constipated. I’ve been soaking him , offering him food that he likes so don’t know what to do now. If he’s constipated would it work to give him pumpkin?
Also, what wattage light should I be using for basking? I have a dome type lamp, it’s about a footabove him but maybe it’s not warm enough. I don’t want to use aceramic heat emitter and have used a reptile bulb or regular bulb.
sorry this is so long but I’m very concerned and don’t know what direction to go with him.
