Hi,

No the other bosc is much smaller so is no competition for food! Oscars still not eating - we have been keeping track of his weight:

20/04/2007 3.85
23/04/2007 3.79
25/04/2007 3.81
27/04/2007 3.74
30/04/2007 3.79
03/05/2007 3.85
09/05/2007 3.88

The last time he ate was 20th April but his weight has remained relatively stable. He defected tonight for the first time in approximately 3 weeks, however this was mainly the white uric plug with very little brown faeces.

He appears to have a hard area about a third down his body. Touching this area does not appear to be causing any pain. Has anyone every heard of this? We not sure if its a blockage / tumour or just his organs as we hadn't ever really fell his body before he went off his food.

He is still spending all day just lying in the back of the vivarium, although yesterday he did come and lie nearer the front and appeared to be more interested in his surroundings than for a couple of weeks.

We have been bathing him as advised by the vet as he has been drinking regularly.

We would appreciate any advice - we have already sent all this info to the vet and are waiting for his advice. We have attached some recent photos of Oscar
