My Beardie is more finaghy than a cat. She was born March 10th and was a big time eater. Since she turned 7 months old she only eats when she wants to. She has water all the time, salad & fruit offered everyday, crickets offered every other day now and of course treats 2-3 times aweek (wax, meal or butter worms).
Sometimes she goes 4 days before she'll eat crickets. I only give her worms if she eats some crickets, either later that day or the next. If I offer her worms first she won't eat any crickets.
I take her out everyday and she has a bath twice a week (more in the summer).
She hasn't grown since Sept 17th (45.5 cm/ 18" ) and hasn't gained any weight since Sept. 12th (450 g / 15.9 oz). Also she hasn't shed since before those dates. She's alot more lazy, but looks really heathy.
It's almost like she was expecting to go into burmanation this year. The temps are all the same except the lights are now on 12 hours.
Is this normal behavior?
