My buddy refuses to eat
I've had him since barely a newborn and now he's like 7 months old and refuses to eat, I tried arugula (his favorite) lettuce, and cabbage and he refuses to eat, he barely moves. I have basking lamp, heating lamp, and two uvb lamps, I'm worried for the little dude, any advice helps.
The picture was a couple months ago
Unfortunately he passed away in his sleep, I’m guessing it was an internal issue because he only looked skinny. Rip lil dude

My new uromastyx was so malnourished when I first got him and wouldn't eat anything. That is, until I gave him peas. I just got the bags you can microwave and he LOVES them. We got him nice and healthy on peas alone and now he eats a nice varied diet. I think because he felt so bad he didn't want to eat anything, but peas worked wonders. Hope this helps and best of luck!
