I know they tend to slow down for various reasons and will pretty much stop eating just because the can but I'm starting to get worried.
Nova is about 9 months and has all but stopped. If she eats, it's less than half her salad, only two or three dubias and was eating worms okay but wasn't really interested yesterday. She's *barely* eating anything but is gaining weight. She's gained 30 grams in just a few days. How does that make sense.? Ive felt her belly and don't feel eggs but we're worried somethings wrong. We put the tube light uvb up and she does *not* like it. She stays super dark and streaked up the whole time but when we put her powersun back, she lightened up but wouldn't bask because it made her spot way way too hot. We think she suffers from anxiety, anytime we adjust anything in her tank, she looses her mind and stays really dark for a few days but this has been like two weeks. And there may be a possibility She's having a hard time adjusting to the babies but she doesn't turn black or puff up at them, she will just look at them, even if we have her and a baby out. (We don't put them together, the babies are too stressed) She's acting okay, otherwise. She will lighten up when we take her out and she runs around a bit. (She's never been super active) amd has been pooping normal, except for today. It was much smaller, not like her usual cat sized poops.
What do we do about the eating.? Should we just let her be and she'll eat what she eats, even if it's just two or three dubias or just a few worms.? Or should we take her to the vet.?
