NOT eating

[reddragon1]

so my dragon was eating the crap out of super worms & veggies like normal then just kinda stopped eating the worms so i ordered butters since those are his favorite cuz i thought he may just be bored with supers but hes not eating the butters or the supers & not eating the veggies like he used too... any ideas? im not sure what the deal is, but hes not really eating & i just dont want something worse to happen.

Have you had a fecal done lately? He might have parasites or coccidia or something.

i've had one done but its been a while back. he still acts fine & active, going to the bathroom everyday & i give him a bath everyday. only eats his greens when i hand feed him but still wont eat worms... i'm stumped

Is he getting ready to shed? I only ask this because my guy, who normally has a voracious appetite stopped eating or went from 10-15 supers to 3 or 4. Then we saw his legs, tail and face had signs of shedding. Gave him baths more often and he's back to his normal appetite.

yea mine will do the same thing, but he just did a full body shed about 3-4 weeks ago if not any longer. i did notice 2 weeks ago tho that the bottom of his hands and fingers were shedding, but thats all over with now. he did finally eat 2 butters just a little bit ago and when i put the 3rd one in he just ran away lol, but like i said he normally tears the worms & veggies up but not so much now...
