I have a 6-7 month old beardie who is actually quite large for her size, normally shell eat about 60-80 crix a day, lately she has been lazy a little bit more regularly and ive had to feed her by safety tongs. Now 2 days ago she ate about 30-40 for a morning meal, went to feed her dinner and didnt eat one, she hasnt ate since except for 3 yesterday morning, should i be worried? She has been super lazy these past 2 days especially also.

Hello,

Is she eating any greens currently or just mostly insects? At her age, it will be quite normal for her to begin slowing down on eating bugs since she isn't growing as fast as she was previously.
Do you have any pictures of her?
What type & brand of UVB does she have? Has she gone to the bathroom lately?
If she is maintaining her weight, I wouldn't worry too much with her not eating as much. You could decrease the number of insects she is eating & increase the greens/veggies for her.
Is she basking normally also?

Yes she is usually eating bok choy or kale but as of late has also not touched those. I have gotten more superworms and she has eaten about 4 of those but has not had a poo in 3 days now, she has not been basking as of late, just hangs out under her uvb bulb a lot, i have a picture but will have to figure out how to upload to this forum(newcomer here), edit-the uvb is a reptisun 10.0 and the basking bulb is an intense 150w

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
