My Uro hasn`t eaten in weeks, maybe more than a month. I`v lowered his day temp for 2 weeks, thinking it`s hibernation time, and now I`ve raised it but it still won`t eat. It`s getting realy thin and i`m worried. there is no profesional veterenaty help here so what can I do? I realy care a lot for this lizard and I wouldn`t want to lose it. Please help me.

Uros don't hibernate. Lowering the temp will probably encourage it NOT to eat.
Try having a basking spot about 110 degrees

Uromastyx do hibernate, from about nov to feb in north africa. breeders to brumate uros for breeding purposes. The temperature is about 110 F and it ate fin till about a month ago. I realy have no idee what ot do. I`ll try to warm up the cage even more. I have a 60W light bulb and I`ll echange it with a 75W spot light bulb. I realy hope it`ll start eating.

I`ll wait 5 more days and if it doesn`t eat i`ll force feed it. Baby food you say ? what kind? this is the best advice I`v heard so far.
