Refusing food in the evening - why?

[beardlover]

Vinny is about 9 months old, just over 17'' long from nose to tip of the tail.
I use a MVB keeping her basking temps at about 105* and the coolest part of her tank usually sits at about 85*
I have CHE for night time as the temps usually drop below 60*
She is bathed several times a week and poops daily.
Her substrate is tile.

So my issue is this...she recently, within the past week and a half or so...has not been eating in the evenings.
She is fed crickets in the morning, has salad all day (mix of collard greens, bok choy...strawberries, apples, grapes and the sort to give her variety) and then crickets again in the evening. She occasionally gets phenox worms.
I wonder if this is just her being stubborn because she is uncomfortable - she currently in a full body shed - EVERYTHING but her back leg, or maybe she is just slowing down on her live prey as she gets closer to adult hood? Or could be more serious?

Spot is the same age and is doing this too. Sometimes she'll eat all that she wants to eat in her first feeding of the day or the last feeding of the day... sometimes she's eating both feedings.

hmmm...

Vinny always eats in the morning, and munches on her salad through out the day, but have been REFUSING to eat at her second feeding. She will sit there and close her eyes, allowing the crickets to crawl all over her...I've left the crickets in with Vin for over an hour and she still wouldn't eat....

beardies will go through periods where they just don't wanna eat----------a nibble here or there and then nothing for a spell. don't worry about it---just go with the flow. they do get bored too if offered the same meal of either insects or veggies/fruit-------when bruno goes through this i offer something different for a spell-----sometimes he will greedily accept it and others he just smirkes and closes his eyes or walks off.

Thanks for the input! I was pretty sure it's nothing to be worried about, she still eats like mad in the mornings, and nibbles on her veg with regular poops...better safe then sorry though!

Maybe she's just putting herself on a diet....got to get ready for swimsuit season :lol:
