My panther isn't eating he is 10 months old. Before he stopped eating he would get gut loaded dubias (which were given dry food - mixture of bee pollen, wheat, oats - as well as apples, oranges, bananas, mangos, and greens). He gets fed every other day, and the dubias get a dusting of Ca without D3. He gets a multivitamin dusting every 2 weeks and a Ca with D3 every 2 weeks. He is fed in a cup on the side of the cage.
His cage is a 2 ft W x 2ft L X 4ft H screen cage, he has a hibiscus plant to hang out in (the dirt is covered by a layer of rocks) as well as some fake branches/vines on the bottom of the cage that connects the trunk of the hibiscus and pot to the very bottom.
His lighting is a 5.0 UVB bulb and a full spectrum light, which are on a 12 hr timer. He gets watering three times a day with the exoterra monsoon system (timer is bad so I have another timer to control it).
When he stopped eating I got some superworms to see if those would entice his appetite, which worked, he ate 5 of them one day and 3 the next. Then he completely stopped eating them as well. He has his own room, which is to say, he isn't in a room that gets high traffic (guest bedroom, warmer room of the house).
Yesterday morning, despite not showing any interest in his food, I observed him drinking water. But he now appears to be dehydrated. I have also weighed him, sept 20th he was 96g and this morning he is 87g.
I am trying to get him to see a vet (had an appointment this evening but the vet rescheduled for tomorrow which is frustrating
).
Is there anything else that I can do that I haven't done yet?
