Hey guys,
My baby beardie Astro is around 4-5 months old, and I've noticed his appetite is not what it used to be. He would usually eat twice a day, once around 11am and again at around 4-5. Recently he has been refusing to eat in the morning. Usually I would take him outside to feed him crickets, but he refuses to eat outside now, I guess because he gets too distracted. I started feeding him in his tank, and it worked for a couple days, but he is back to ignoring the food. He will see the crickets and just go back to his hammock and bask. I've made the switch from small to medium crickets, and he only eats around 2 or 3 a day with maybe some meal worms or collard greens. He lives in a 40gal tank and lighting and heating is all proper at around 100-108 degrees. Could it be because it is fall approaching winter and he is just naturally eating less? His poops are solid and in shape, so I feel like there is nothing wrong with his health. Please help I'm worried because he doesn't seem eager to munch anymore.
