We have two young igs. After having a large 3-4 yr old. Anyway, both igs come from the same brood that arrived at the pet store.
Joey came first, then Jackie about 3 weeks later. Joey is a pig and eats everything. Jackie, who came later, had to be moved out
of the enclosure, cus Joey was too dominant. So Jackie went into the starter cage ( 20 gal aquarium ). The problem is, heat, temp,
humidity, micro climates, temp differentiation are all good, but Jackie doesn't eat ( or at least much ). We've tried every Ig food,
MK's diet, etc. Jackie is still small and skinny, but with a lot of energy trying to escape most of the time. We are considering
taking him to the vet for overall check-up, de-worm, etc. Has anyone had a similiar experience ? what did you do ? and how did it turn
out ? thanks.
