I have had Ramses (a small stunted dragon) for two years as a class pet. I adopted him from an abusive owner when he only weighed 116g. I got him a deluxe set up and his weight ballooned to 379g. He was consistently eating veggies, hornworms, superworms, crickets, etc.

Sometime around December he pretty much stopped eating veggies (he seems to enjoy sitting in his salad though). I continued to offer them but he wouldn't eat them. He still ate hornworms and other feeders with great enthusiasm.

Two weeks ago I brought him back to school (he spends winter at my house) and since returning he has not wanted to eat much of anything. He will "eye" worms, but won't really eat much if any.

His weight hasn't gone down, but I'm still worried. Temps are all standard (104 - 80), Reptisun 10.0, etc... Is it relocation stress? Any other ideas?

I'm pretty sure that it's just what you suspect...relocation stress. If he's a small dragon, but full grown, then 379 grams is plenty hefty to survive his little hunger strike. He'll probably be just fine.

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!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
