Answer
Hi Patricia;

Check the temperature of his water. If it is below 75f, it's too cool. Get him to a warmer spot, put a light on him or get a tank for him so he can have a heater.

Also, clean his bowl at least once a week. If food is leftover it can rot and cause him to get sick. Water changes help the appetite. Remove uneaten food right away.

I hope Marvin feels better soon.....
