Reptile & Amphibian Forums

three of my dragons have stopped eating crickets completely but they still eat greens. the only changes i've made to their setup is that i've changed from sand back to shelf liner. temps are good and they're not showing any visible signs of stress. mostly they just sleep. i'm thinking maybe it's a parasite and am planning to get a fecal done this week. have a fecal sample for each one in the freezer now. this wont affect the results will it?

you will probably need new fecal samples, keep them in the fridge, not the freezer. Its possible that they have just decided that an adult diet of veggies is good, they should start eating bugs again after awhile.

I wouldn't worry to much unless they aren't eating anything at all. My adult male stopped eating crickets and greens both so I got worried but I found out that he got sick of crickets and his greens since he was never big on eating greens in the first place but now that I've changed his food he's doing just fine.
