Hi, all.
So Daenarys is about 7 months old or so now, and about 18". Growing up she ate LOTS of crickets, like 30ish a day (average-y) of appropriate size and I've had her since she was like 4".
I started giving her Dubia about 2 months ago and she was happy enough about them, but would only eat like 4 - 8 of them. They were a little bigger than her usual crix though, so I thought that might be ok. She also would still attack the glass when she saw me putting superworms in her bowl and those were always gone within 2 minutes but I only gave her up to 6 a day.
Well lately it seems like she'll barely even eat 2 dubia a day, and she isn't as jazzed about the superworms, either... I feed her daily, and she still picks at her salad.
Is this normal? Because she's gotten older and/or it's winter? Her tank is still kept at normal temps though (110 basking, 84 cool), and we live in california so we honestly haven't had much winter...
Should I switch to every other day feeding? What should I do?
(If this should be in health - feel free to move it. Wasn't toally sure?)
