As some of you may already know, for the past 2 or 3 months I've been struggling to get Bayne to eat. In a weeks time, he probably only eats about 7 roaches. He has completely stopped eating any and every kind of veggie or fruit. Basically in one day, I can get him to eat one or two roaches and maybe 1mL of various different types of baby food. I have even tried adding probiotics to his baby food, and that doesn't even seem to help. I have also tried bee pollen. I have continued to keep offering them to him, but he just repeatedly turns his nose up and runs off.
He is also having difficulty going to the bathroom right now. I have tried baby food prunes and pumpkin, but that doesn't seem to have helped any either. He did go a little about two days ago, but it wasn't much at all. I'm not sure if this has to do with the fact that he isn't eating much, or if the medicine from having roundworms caused him to get backed up.
Then! Bayne also hasn't shed in about two months now, and that is really odd for him. He usually sheds every couple of weeks.
He is now somewhere between six to seven months old, so I'm not sure if I chalk this all up to age or if it's something else going on, which is why I've finally decided to compile it all together and post on here.
Bayne's temps, lights, etc... are all correct - I check them daily to be sure since there is so much going on with him right now. I haven't been able to send in a fecal to get it rechecked because he hasn't gone to the bathroom.
Any insight would be wonderful.
Also, on a side note - I have not noticed any weight loss.

I've not had to go thru this...But I agree with what Canicke said...I would just keep monitoring Bayne in all aspects weight, activity, what you give to him etc.. I have heard that it's not uncommon for them to really take a long time to get back to eating and acting somewhat normally... Keep doing slurries with the probiotics, I would mash in some dubia (gross I know but hey...and yep done it to Izzy when she went on her hunger strike) add in supplements as well.. When I do slurries these are the items I have on hand to put in: probiotic powder, dandelion powder, alfalfa powder, bee pollen, multi vit, calcium, Gerber baby all naturals: I have on hand squash, sweet potato, peas. And lastly I've tried all natural applesauce..
