For about 2-3 months now, since about midOctober, Figment has really scaled back on eating... just posted about him no longer eating his formerly favorite feeders, but he’s also back to eating only a couple mouthfuls of salad, too. Some days he doesn’t want anything at all. His weight is steady, maybe dropping a couple of grams but then going back up again.

Is it okay for me to scale back feedings to every other day, so he has a chance to get hungry? Is this normal for winter months?

Mine eats less during winter too. I believe it's OK as their metabolism slows down during the colder months.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
