Water Monitor HELP!

[gbassett]

Big Gunns doesn't think that animals "usually" go off feed for lack of "safety"(it is a cause though). It's usually husbandry(which can include "safety") that's the problem. Temps and food it basically doesn't "like" are bigger problems when it comes to a Water Monitor. BG does agree that a scared animal may go off feed though.

Get this animal to a Vet ASAP.

The number one reason a monitor will stop eating is stress.There are a number of thing that could cause the stress,temps to low or high,the humidity is to low,or lack of safety.A monitor kept in a fish tank with no place to hide,and an owner trying to force themselves on them,they are going to stop eating.Lack of safety will cause a monitor to stop eating,in fact it is common for young Water monitors to regurgitate when they become stressed
