Hi all,

Just wanted to ask if anyone would have any ideas that'd help.

Spyro is nearing 3 years old with no previous health issues, he will happily eat his crickets and certain fruits but has stopped eating any of the vegetables we offer him, it's been a week or so since he started doing this and he's stopped having a daily bowel movement and now we're lucky if it's once every 3/4 days.

He's still happy to run around when taken out of his tank otherwise he just acts a tad lazy (but what's new there).

He's in a 4ft viv with a 100W heat bulb on top of mesh (had to switch to that bulb to get the overall temp in his viv to the right level), using an Arcadia UVB bulb that's only 2 or 3 months old, his usual diet consists of rocket or watercress as the base leafy greens and green beans to bulk it up with the odd addition of colourful stuff like bell peppers.

Thanks in advance!

I would try offering some different options and see if that sparks his interest. A lot of them are starting to slow down for one level or another of brumation so that may be what's going on here as well.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
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!
