Well, and insects are like candy, I guess. This spiny tail will fill up on insects and leave the salad if I let him, but sometimes putting just a few in a salad just for the movement will trigger the feeding response, and they will eat salad too.

Lizards will also stop eating if they are dehydrated. I would make sure that the baby is getting plenty of moisture. Baths are good, but I also find that some lizards won't drink unless the water is moving, so I use bubble bowls for the ig, and for collareds. You can add an air stone to the water bowl or buy a bowl with the air stone built in at herpsupplies.com. Hydration is crucial to appetite in most of the lizard species that I have worked with, and is an often overlooked factor in reptile anorexia.
