It's the Forest Hingbacks that are biggest on the rain bit not so much so the grassland hingebacks like the Bells and Speke's. They do like their humid hides though.

Unless you have an actual thermostat (as opposed to a rheostat) the enclosure temperatures are probably changing with the ambient temperatures... they don't like this.

Mushrooms are a big favorite but if it was eating allong up until recently it is most likely something environmental.

Also try mixing the pellets with mango baby food as an enticement.

When I did my research before I got him it said they ate very little fruit. I did try him on some strawberry but he wasn't keen. I'll try a few more, along with some pellets.

I'll try the rain as well, and up his temperatures a little to compensate.

Thank you so much for the help =) Hopefully he'll come round a little.

He got in a grump a few weeks back; I realised his little green ducky he apparently has always had was hidden in a corner, and once I got it back out near him he seemed much happier - he's a bit of a funny one!
