Hey all. I am looking for some advice on a BP that has suddenly stopped eating. I have had my BP for around 5 years. He has always ate really good the entire time I've had him until the past few months. He is 5 years old, give or take. I took him to the vet about a month ago because he was making a wheezing noise. They gave him steroids and some vitamins and after his last shed (around a week ago) it has seemed to go away. However, it has been two months and he hasn't really wanted any food.
I am currently unemployed, so unfortunately I can't afford a new set up at this time. He lives in clear container, on paper towels. He has lived in this set up for almost two years (which is why I hope to upgrade soon). He has two identical hides, the humidity is around 55-60%. Warm side is a hot spot of 96° and cool side doesn't really drop below 76° and is hottest at 81°. He has a few fake plants and sticks and a decently large water dish.
I can't help but to worry because he's always been a good eater. I know he's older, it's around the end of mating season. I just want to do everything I can to make sure he is okay and healthy. I will take a photo of his encolurse at a better time. He normally eats large rats, but I have offered a variety of sizes in the past two months.
He has acted very normal even when he was wheezing, which has completely stopped now. It may have been stuck shed, because it went away once he shed. The only change is that he seems uninterested in eating. He also hasn't really lost much weight, but I unfortunately can't weigh him properly at this time.
Thanks so much
