i have hatchling who is maybe 2 months old who just a few days ago doesn;t want to eat

she is up right on her feet with head up not laying flat
active and alert nice flesh tone and hydration clear eys perfectly normal looking other than the not wanting to eat part she has a clear fecal (one of my 0 cell coccidia dragons) never been wormed has been eating fine till about 3 days ago.

basking spot is between 105-115 80-85 everywhere else she moves aroudn the tank thermo regulating ect

Has she been growing rapidly? I think some dragons when they go through a rapid growth spurt follow it up by a period of slow down. Just my observation, nothing to back it up really.

I have seen them shoot up in size and appetite, then suddenly drop off eating for a few days also. I wouldn't worry too much yet since she is pooping and acting ok
