Need some urgent help with a young Hermann. I have a 6 to 8 month Hermann and I'm unable to get him to eat. I have had him for a few months now. When I first got him he was eating okay, taking bits out of whole pieces of weeds and grasses but now nothing. Has been to the vet twice and visually he seems to look okay. I tried giving him just a small piece of strawberry just to get him interested, he looks interested but just smells it. I have even tried to give him a soak in 50/50 mix of baby carrot food and water (suggested by a vet). All he wants to do is sleep, night and day if I would let him. If I take him out he will walk around for a while after a bit of coaxing. I don't think he is hibernating due to how active he can be when I take him out and it's not like it cool in the house at this time of year, but could be wrong. Any ideas on how to help and get this little guy eating would be greatly appreciated.
A Little about his tank setup, 30 to 34 (86 to 94) in the basking spot, is on organic earth and play-sand mix (more on the earth side). He does have a hiding spot on the cool side but he is doesn't seem to go over there. Have ceramic heater, reptisun fluorescent light and he gets a bath every morning to keep his water intake up.
