[floof]

My male coastal hasnt fed since may this year and still not interested in feeding just wondering if anyone else has had the same problem

Nope...My coastals have been feeding like pigs..... Oh I mean Hungry Coastals....

What temps you running him in???

 

[MatE]

How old is he?

 

[floof]

hes nearly 4 yrs old but he has never eaten over winter but has always started around october

 

[floof]

temp sits around the 29 deg

 

[Surfcop24]

Possibly bump the Temp up to around 32-33.... Thats what mine sit at during the day... And then cools down a smidge at night....


Or take him/her to a vet to get the once over......

what does it when he soaks in the water bowl

 

[nutta]

soaking in the water bowl is a sign of mites

my male coastal went for 9 months without a feed, he had respiratry probs, have you tried feeding it somthing else?

 

[Surfcop24]

Yeah if he is soaking in a water bowl at 29 deg, and not eating ... I would get him checked for mites....

Or something else..... A good Vet check wont do him/her any harm
