hi people,bet theres not to many people here today as donny is on...

anyway ozzy our bd as been off his food for a couple of days,temps are fine and so on...so heres what ive done...

gave him only greens and veg for the last two days,so there was something for him to eat..because he was turning nose up at live food,so im saying ive called his bluff,ive just gone to feed our cham and ozzy saw the tank of hoopers,and went not crazy but as if he wanted some,so again ive called his bluff and not give him any,but im going to later in the day,so it seems hes getting hungry now,

my question is how long can/would you leave him if it was yours???
im worried but it might get him to eat....

Mine were fine and after the 3 days they were eating like pigs.

Daily food varys but they can usually eat about a tub of crixs.

When was the last time you changed the UV bulb, going off food is one of the first signs that it needs changeing.
If its older than 6 months old change it.
