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......

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
