Should I be worried?

jaffar311 Apr 10, 2004 05:31 PM

I have 2 Ornates and 1 Mali. My female Ornate is an adult and was purchased from lindsay pike over a year ago. She is super healthy and has never had a problem eating or anything. Here is my situation. She just finished a full shed and looks great but ever since she finished shedding she hasn't touched her food. I have her housed by herself since my male is still smaller. It has only been about 3 days she hasn't eaten so it might be nothing but I was just wondering if there is anything I can look for that might help. I'll take a picture of her and try and post it.

Her name is Isis (Ice-is) and she was born at Urotopia in early 2001. I woke her up to take this picture. Could it be an age thing?

first off i'm not an expert, still learning myself. seems to me that her middle looks kind of bloated or could be the way she is sitting. i had myself a beautiful red saharan who decided not to eat one day. the days became 2 weeks and the outcome was not good.i encourage you to agressively try to find out the reason why she decided not to eat. maybe you could change up the diet a little, she may just be bored. if the thought occurs to you to make a vet appointment, then do it, trust your instinct. unfortunately i did not trust mine. good luck with her, shes beautiful!
