13. Give a little detail about the behaviour of the Leo also
Zinc usually spends alot of his time in his cooler side, in the large cave especially. After meals we would hang on the warm side. This winter he slowed down alot, much like he did last year around that time. he did alot of sleeping and then started to come out of his winter funk and everything was going fine till i noticed him glass dancing and moving around like crazy (much more than he usually does). He started spending more time on the warm side, and he stopped eating.
This was about a month ago that he stopped eating. I change his water every few days, as well as his moist hide.
I knew something was up when he shed and didnt eat it at all, this shed happened when I was out of town for a night, my roomates had turned off the heat and despite my windows being closed my room temp dropped to 65 (though the UTH was still on).
His tail is still plump but he is loosing weight, he still doesnt eat and turns his head at food. I am planning on placing a bowl of meal worms in to give him 24/7 access though he hasnt eaten out of the bowl since he was very young.
As for the nasal bleeding, I dipped my finger in some calcium and vitamin dust hoping he might lick some off and maybe that would energize him, he poked my finger with his nose and when i wiped the dust off my finger it streaked blood. Days ago, he had a tiny spot of old shed on his nose, but it appeared to be gone this morning.
I am just really freaked because i have never heard of nasal bleeding, and not eating for a month, I dont want to watch him starve to death.
thanks for the help, and sorry if its hard to get through my post.
Leo not eating, possible nasal bleeding?
