I had the same problem with mine
by: Anonymous

I got a RT and he was fine and eating before I got him but for 2 weeks he wouldn't eat. So I took him to the vet and the vet said he was in fact sick. He said he could tell he had a vitamin deficiency by just looking at him (probably from the 2 weeks of not eating) and a possible parasite. I was devastated because we bonded so much, but the vets said it was a lost cause and probably wouldn't make it. Please take you RT to the vet asap and maybe you can catch what is wrong with him before it gets bad.
