yemen cham off his food

[bikesfred54]

got a male yemen about 10 months to a year old.had him about 7 days when i first got him he was shedding and still got some left to go he looks happy and in good condition and also loves to come out of his viv.the problem his the first few days he was feeding well but as the days go by hes not eating nothing but the odd waxworm from my hand could it be to be with shedding or because of the move.any help would be great.

How often do you try to feed him? Try skipping food for 2 or 3 days then offer him food. At that age they start to get bored with the food if they have it all the time. About that age I started feeding mine every other day.

yummy

try like other member said ,wait a day or so let him work up a hunger, try superworms and even nightcrawlers and i think the basking area could be a little warmer like 95-low 100s about 10hrs of it. is he drinking, pooping?
