Okay, this is the 2nd time I've seen you type this species........I think you mean Ceratogyrus sp. (i.e. brachycephalus, bechuanicus, sanderi, darlingi, sanderi....)?
Anyways, 10 days is nothing in terms of a T's eating schedule. There are several on this forum (myself included) who usually only feed every two weeks anyways. There's no reason to be concerned about a T not eating, unless of course said T is losing visible mass in the opithisoma.
