When I first got the horned lizard I ran out and got some small crickets for it to eat and ordered it some ants. It ate a few of the crickets but didn't seem to care for them much. When the ants came the lizard went right after them as soon as they started moving. It ended up eating only 10 of the harvester ants. The next day I went to feed the lizard again. It didn't seem to have in intrest in the ants. I pulled them out after a little while and decided to try the next day. About 4 days after the inital feeding the lizard seemed to have in intrest in eating again but it only ate 3 or 4 ants. Three days later the lizard still has no intrest in food. For the first few days the lizard would hiss and dart every time I put my hand in the cage. Now all it does is sleep. It moves every few hours but will fall asleep even when I'm holding it. I believe the lizard is a roundtail. Is this normal for horned lizards or is something wrong?
