I have had the same issues. I usually change up feeders and it helps. As long as he is still eating the greens, a few days won't hurt. I hadn't fed crickets in awhile, and just started on them again. Calypso wouldn't eat any today. She is waiting for her phoenix worms, LOL

Spike is 8 months old and has gone on mini hunger strikes like you describe since he was about 5 months old. Reptiles can go far longer without eating than most people are comfortable letting them go. As long as your dragon is healthy and getting the right amount of uvb,heat, calcium and vitamins, I wouldn't worry about his not eating. He will eat when he is hungry. Spike sometimes goes 3 or 4 days without eating, but always starts back up when he gets hungry.
