Hello peoples!
My 9 month old beardie, Sandy, has been going on a diet these past months. When I got her 4 months ago she was a good eater, she ate a lot and very often. Now she does not want any food, only a few some days of the week. A normal week for her can be like this, for example:
Monday: nothing
Tuesday: one small grasshopper
Wednesday: nothing
Thursday: nothing
Friday: 2 grasshoppers
Saturday: nothing
Sunday: 2-3 super worms
I thought animals like these should be eating a lot? She does sleep quite a lot, and sometimes she gets so excited, she runs around, bashing in the glass and running into her cave and out the other side, typically a few hours before bedtime. The weird thing is, I think that she is just very adventurous and can just see what I am doing on my computer. There is a window just beside the glass she is going into and running around, she may have seen something sometimes. She doesn't go crazy every day, only some days. She has done this for some weeks now. Sometimes she goes on top of her cave, facing me and looking at me, so I take her out of her enclosure and she runs around exploring. Maybe, she just wants to explore..?
She is also not losing any weight but actually gaining a few grams each week. I'm just a tad concerned for her since I also have another beardie which is 9 months old and can't get enough food each day, and just chills, no "flips" where she just goes crazy.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.
