Loss of appetite

Kam88 May 18, 2005 03:09 PM

Hello Everyone,
For the past 4 days my 8 1/2 month old grandis hasn't eaten anything. I just offered her some crickets and peach babyfood, neither she ate. She still drinks water though and is just as active. Earlier today she shed so I'm wondering if that maybe it. I wanted to ask anyone out there what else could be the cause of this and if I should be alarmed. Thanks for your time.

Hi Kristi, I can only speak for my girl, everytime shes going to shed she does lose her appetite, and then when she has finally shed, she all of a sudden begins to eat again.

So I have pretty much got used to the routine and do not worry!

Just keep an eye on her. If she begins to eat again, then see if this happens again next time with shedding.

Hope shes fine !
