Appetite

[Zezima]

Today I tried to feed my dragon his salad and he refused, so I thought I'll just wait until his next cricket feeding. He ate probably 10-12 crickets (Merlin is about 4-5 months), but when I killed one that was a straggler and put it in front of him he ignored it. Could he be stressed? Should I be worried?

Some just don't like their salad/greens and veg and need to be coaxed to eat these, even handfed.

Very common for 4 - 5 month old juveniles to show no interest in these. Is more important that get as much insect protein as they will eat at least two times per day at his age.Keep on offering each day

If he already ate several crickets and then refused a dead one, he was probably no longer hungry (enough to want it).
