Hello!
I'm a new member of this forum and also a new hermann owner. In July, we adopted a male hermann, aprox.15 years old from our neighbours who didn't want him anymore. He lives in our spacy garden with a lot of sunlight and weeds. This year I decided not to hibernate him so he's in a terarrium 100x40 with uvb and heat lamp, coconut coir. The temperature of the room is about 26 C, under the basking spot it reaches 33 C. I soak him everyday and he drinks water.
The problem is...he won't eat weeds everyday! I give him dandelions clover hibiscus etc. but he eats sometimes and sometimes not. His previous owners were feeding him pretty bad, tomatoes lettuce so maybe he's used to that food? I asked the same question on other forum and a kind lady responded that he will eat when he gets hungry and it may take to a month. He seems healthy, walking around and climbing. Also, I let him walk my bedroom, its small and clean. This happens when I'm home studying.
What to do, any advice? He's 14 cm long and weights 645 g. Is that ok?
