So If He Wasn't Eating...

[Campy]

I dont know if Snipe is eating. He is looking mighty thin. How long would they live if say he wasn't eating? Im thinking since he moved into his new cage which was about 4 days ago, he may have stopped eating. Can they go that long? What can I look for? I dont know if he is eating because I let the meal worms, crickets etc run free in the cage. So they could potentially be hiding.

What can I do if this is the case and he is not eating?

How old is he?
Make sure he is well hydrated!
A move to a new environment often results in some stress, and not eating for awhile is typical.
4 days is not all that long. Leave him alone as much as possible and let him get acclimated.
Providing he is otherwise healthy, I do not consider this to be an emergency.
The best thing you can do is 2 or 3 good mists a day, make sure the temps are right, and give him some time and privacy.

agree

I agree with Brad. You don't have much to worry about with your cham not eating after a relocation. Check the humidity and temperatures. If you notice your chams body mass going down significantly take him to a good exotics vet.
