Hi,
Well about a week ago my Dragon, a 2 or 3 month old juvenile named Pooka, started slowing down on the amount she was eating. She went from 8 or 9 food items (7 or 8 Crix and a mealworm) to 2 or 3 meal items (2 or 3 Crix) and I do not know why. I took her to the vet for a checkup on an eye problem from last month and he gave her Flagyll (a parasite med) and said she was in good health. Her vet visit was on day 3 of the light eating which was monday, 4 days later and she is still "picking" at her food. I have no idea what it could be. She has not shed in the 5 weeks we have her but I have heard sheds don't affect appetite much. Could she be stressing? If so what woould the warning signs or behaviours look like? Luckily she is still a pretty vorascious drinker. I'm just worried because she will show periods on alertness and activity then stop and be a bit listless for a moment. Anyone have any idea whats up?
