Hi everyone
Ursula is 18 months old and this is her first winter with me. The weather here in Melbourne has really dropped - hitting 2-3C outside in the morning and only getting to around 14C during the day. Even though her enclosure is 30C at the cool end, 37C at the warm end and 40C on her basking rock, she has refused three feeds over the last week.
She is still fairly active, but today I let her out and whilst on the floor tried to tag me. This is the first time that has ever happened.
Can anyone provide advice on what I should do? I don't want to keep throwing out rats but my priority is keeping her healthy. She has digested and excreted her last meal. Do I lower the temperatures and decrease the photo period?
Any advice would be appreciated.
