Just picky or cause for concern?

[QUOTE="CooperDragon, post: 2027752, member: 76248"] This sounds like pretty common behavior, nothing to worry about. They do get picky at times and it's tough to get a variety of food in them. The hornworms are a really popular treat. My dragon will leap into the air to grab them and run across two rooms of the house if he sees one. It's fun to offer them, but I keep them as an occasional treat (ordered a couple few times a year). The slow behavior can happen at various times of the year and seems cyclical. They will have times of less energy and times they are wired. It depends on the dragon and you'll notice individual patterns over time. I would keep a log of his weight at steady intervals so you can keep an eye on the trend (Easy to add in a spreadsheet graph) over the course of time. You'll see seasonal and short term fluctuations but the trend should be relatively stable over the course of a year. Significant/sustained drops can be noted and looked into if needed. As far as getting veges back into the diet, you can try reducing the bugs to just a couple of times per week while still offering salads every day. Try hand feeding to create some movement. I've found that I can sometimes gain their attention that way. Offering some different options or colors might help. Try some swiss chard or different bell pepper colords. Also, cutting squash into small worm shapes has been popular with my dragon to the point that it's now most of his diet (to my frustration). [/QUOTE]
