My RES, Rockie, is about 1 yr old (3 inches long). This is the first winter we spend together. I used to feed him in a seperate container and everything worked out fine.
But recently in the past 3 weeks, he has been eating less. since 2 weeks ago, he refuses to eat in the container and only eats in his own tank. and he ate less as well. i used to feed him 10 to 12 food sticks in the morning. he only eats about 5 sticks so my hubbie feed him another 3 to 4 sticks in the evening when we go home from work.
the tank has been getting more dirty after we feed him in his own tank. i wanna get him to eat in the seperate container again to keep his water clean. anyone has similar experience? is it because it's winter so he eats less? my water temp is 78F and basking temp is 86-88F. my hubbie has already rise the water temp to 80F but he still doesn't eat much..... he swims and basks regularly. didn't see him sneeze nor any symptom of being sick except eating less. he has hiccups after eating in the past 2 days. but the hiccup stop about 2 minutes after.
