: Spike was a very happy ig,he lived upstairs.Well since it got cold we have had a hard time with the humidity so we moved him to the bathroom.Now his temps and humidity is great but he quit eating.This was This was 2 months ago.I took him to the vet ,and he did have hook worms which we treated and got rid of.She told me to give him a little time.Well he is still barely eating if eating at all.He will though still eat mango out of my hand.I think he must be really stressed.Everytime the bathroom door is left open he takes a dash to his old room.Any ideas?Also when he was in his old room we had 2 humidifiers they didnt help

All igs cut down on eating when it's cold out. Mine has cut down to barely anything. I get worried and then he'll have a day he'll eat a whole big collard leaf. Other days he has a nibble here and there. Igs also like stimulation. If he's stuck in a bathroom all day without a window or anything to see, he probably is stressed. Mine goes from window to window all day -- they are very curious. Maybe you can take him to his old room once in a while and see if he will eat there.
