Hey,
So I've had my guy for 5 years. I'll spare you with the details of his cage, lights etc because he's thrived all these years...however he's become lethargic and today I put him in the bath which he usually hates and responds to negatively...or at least actively. Today nothing..he sunk and is alert but not like before...he's not eating crickets since he's discovered cherries. I've always fed him crickets and gut loaded them appropriately however in the last week he seems like he's disinterested.
The vet I took him to which is not my normal vet was less than good with exotics..he's drinking, not eating though...
My fear is his old age and his new love of cherries VS crickets or super worms and his hunger strike is not good for him...nothing else in his life has changed. Any advise would be greatly appreciated!
