Our beloved beardie is around 4 months and a proverbial pain the butt. She goes through periods of where she "starves" herself, at least for crickets. At first it concerned us, but everyone we talked to (even the vet) told us it was just a phase; kind of like what human toddlers do. We started feeding her large (more like a larger medium crickets) and she snapped them up, sometimes eating 15 in one sitting. Fast forward a few days and we had to settle for mediums (which are much smaller) and she could care less. Sufficed to say JuJu is lazy, she isn't a fan of chasing crickets if she doesn't have two. So we decided to by large yesterday. The large shipment it much larger than her last batch, so once again she doesn't give a crud. She ate some yesterday during her lunch feeding but hasn't eaten since then. We give her veggies which she'll pick at. We just want to know when this phase will be over! She's a pain in the butt, but we lover her. Shy of not actually feeding her since she doesn't want to eat, We're at a loss.
We also do bathe her 2-3 times a week to help with digestion, dehydration and shedding. Could the outside temps play a role? It was 4 here yesterday
