So "Winter" has officially hit South Texas. Tank had been doing fine in his burrow with his heater and "door cover" as long as it doesn't drop below 60F. Well, we had a horrible cold spell, for us, it dropped as low as 28F and has been in the 40's for the past week. He has an outfitted, heated, boxed in area in our garage where he's been the past week. But he will not eat! Ive been trying to give him all kinds of goodies but he won't touch em. Is this normal?
Today it is about 65F and sunny so we decided to let him out for some fresh air, freedom and most importantly to eat! But all he's done the past few hours is sit at his blocked off burrow entrance, trying to find a way in.
I really want him to eat. Is a slowing appetite normal? We've been keeping him warm, minimum 75F in his indoor house. Could he be depressed? How long can he go without eating?
I don't know how you guys up North do this!!! Any suggestions???
