Dragon Eating Less - Your Thoughts?

Circusfan Jul 12, 2006 05:00 PM

Hi everyone. My female beardie is almost a year old and she has slowed down eating quite a bit. Her temps are optimal and her cage set up is perfect for her, but her appetite seems to have slowed down a bit. We think it's because she is done with her growth spurt and is slowing down with growing now. I'm writing to ask what your thoughts are on this. She is still eating, just NOT NEARLY what she used to. What do you think? She is in otherwise perfect health from what I can tell. Thanks a lot!
