Feeding Slowdown in Winter?

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.

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!
