I'm a little concerned about Figment's eating habits; he's approximately 3 months old (hard to tell for certain, since he's a pet store dragon) and about 9" long (my best estimate; he won't hold still for measuring). I keep reading that they are ravenous at this age. Figment... isn't.
He doesn't do more than nibble at his greens every couple of days - not every day by a long shot - though once a week he'll eat thinly sliced carrot or squash offered by hand, usually. Nightly I've been offering crickets, and he generally starts off strong, chasing after them and gobbling them up, but loses interest after 10 or 15 small or medium crickets. Today he took 5 hornworms about 2-3" long from tweezers before refusing to eat any more. When I first offered him Phoenix Worms he ate a few, but now turns up his nose at them and won't eat them at all.
Should I be concerned? He's regular, poos once every morning, and basks for 95% of his day.
