My blue tongue lizard has not eaten for approx 4 weeks,he appears happy and healthy,can this be normal??

Question

He is definately a male,so therfore he cannot be pregnant, and I only have one. He has been offered many things including his favorite food but still shows no interest in it. Temperature is fine, still passes p**p fine and is drinking fine.

Answer 1

It could be that he entered a brumation cycle...hiberation. Since he is pooping, he's got to be eating something. If you are that concerned, get him checked out with a vet.

Answer 2

THIS IS NOT NORMAL FOR A BLUE-TONGE LIZARD I AM NOT VERY GOOD AT THE SUBJECT I AM GOOD AT OTHER ANIAMLS BUT I  THINK I KNOW THE PROBLEM

IF HE OR HER IS 5-6 YEARS OLD THEY MIGHT NOT EAT THIS OFFTEN OR IF SHE IS PREAGNET SHE MIT NOT EAT FOR 8 WEEK(ONLY IF SHE HAS BABYS)

Answer 3

yeah, she could be pregnant is she realy fat?

Check the temps in her terarium, they might have gone a little cold during winter.

He/she could also be bermenting (bermation).

Chuck a few juicy snails in with it and see if that gets him eating. Does he/she p**p?

If he/she dont eat within the next week or two i recomend a trip to the vet.

good luck, hope the bluey lives they are great lizards/skinks

Answer 4

its probably pregnant

Answer 5

If he is still passing p**p then surely he must be eating something?
