eating less ? should i be worried ?

[kevin561]

My leo has been eating less these last couple of days, normally she eats 6-8 mealworms, but recently she has been eating 2-3 max. She is still pooping normally everyday. she is a juvenile around maybe 2-3 months.

She has also been hanging in her moist hide alot lately, could that mean anything?

Setup, 19 gal tub, paper towel substrate, 3 hides, one cool hide, moist hide, and warm hide on top of UTH reading at 93f.

How big/long is she? Do you know her hatchdate or are you saying you have had her for 2 to 3 months? Does she look like she is dulling a bit and about to shed?

our babies slow down eating in the winter time sometimes.

It happens in winter sometimes. Could just be getting ready to shed too. Imo, monitor her weight closely, and if she starts losing a noticeable amount of weight, see a vet.

6-8 mealworms isnt a lot to start off with at all.
My hatchlings eat double that amount in one day.

How cool is the cool side? Proper temps for the cool side are just as important as the hot side in digestion!

True dat Katie. Ozy was a little slow on the eating the first week I had her, because she was getting adjusted and such, but she ate more everyday. By the time I had her for a couple of weeks she was eating at least a dozen mealworms a day. NOW she eats me out of house and home!! LOL!

I don't feed my leo mealworms, so I don't know how many they should be eating. But it couldn't hurt to have it checked for parasites, if others are saying it's not much.
