I don't know why he is like this. Ernie's temps have not changed, I have not moved his enclosure around, I havn't changed his diet, I havn't changed his substrate, I havn't changed his lighting, and he hasn't had any weird "incidents" lately. He poos every day or other day, and urates every other day [he was having urates everyday and then I cut back on his soaking, now happens about ever other day]. I know he is getting enough hydration as well because when he does urate, the clear liquid that comes with it is a lot, like normal, as it always has been. He does not have diarrhea, his breathing is fine, and his eyes are bright and clear. He has been sleeping A LOT. I pull him out of bed in the mornings for his breakfast, or soaks, and after which, he goes back to bed [or maybe will bask for a short period of time]. Sometimes he doesn't want to eat, and sometimes he eats like a pig. Yesterday he pigged out on his breakfast, and this morning he won't eat. Its become kind of a pattern of eating, then not eating. Some days he seems in a better "mood" than other days. Some mornings he won't eat when I place him in front of his food, but then will come back to eat later in the day.
The only thing that has changed, is what time I do my daily "routine" with him in the mornings. I've begun waking up about an hour or two later than what I used to, so his bath, and breakfast and such comes later in the morning.
Does it sound like something is wrong? Or is he just in a weird tortoise mood?
