Well Legs 11 never keeps me stress free for very long. I was exstatic when he reached 20 grams, and thought that he was at last going to start picking up. However, this past week or so he has become less and less active. He doesn't come out of his hide unless I fetch him out, which actually isn't until I get home from work at about 3.15. I pop him under his light while I walk the dog etc, and then I bathe him and once he is awake properly I feed him. He has been eating quite well, and the inside of his mouth is still a lovely healthy pink colour. However, once he has eaten he wanders back in to his hide and stays there until the next day. I have tried lowering his light incase he was too cold, and have since highered it, in case he is too hot. But he still keeps going back in to his hide. He does turn around to face the light in the morning when it comes on. But he refuses to leave his hide of his own accord. He is weeing and pooing, so I know that things are working in that department, but I don't understand why he is so inactive. Could it just be his body clock telling him that it is that time of year, when he should be hibernating?

As long as he's eating, peeing & pooing, well hydrated, putting weight on (all be it slowly) and appears well, then yes I'd agree.

Poor little legs... Exactly the same as pepsi has been, albeit she has not been well. I have been bathing her in reptoboost and for the last 2 days she has been coming out on her own!! still having trouble getting her to eat but seeing her energetic pleases me.. have you got any reptoboost? Hope he picks up for you.. xxx
