Mojo has not eaten for months - advise please

Sarah O'Flaherty · 04-01-2013, 06:09 PM

My 5 yr old horsefield Mojo was hibernating 8 weeks, prior to this she had stopped eating naturally. I woke her up 4 weeks ago, since then she hasn'nt eaten anything. She is warm and very active and i have bathed her. I managed to get a peek inside her mouth and that looks normal. She weighs 400gs. She is not interested in any type of food, i've tried salad leaves, weeds and pellets, all of which she would normally eat. Does anyone have any suggestions?

What are your temperatures in your enclosure, under basking lamp, warm end, cool end and over-night? How long are your lights on for?

Thank- you for your replys. At last Mojo ate some well soaked pellet food today, so has had some food and water in one go. Panic over, phew.
