Just Quell My Fears, Please

Is it normal for juvi geckos to sometimes skip meals. Tiamat didn't show any interest in her food today although yesterday she must've eaten twenty meal worms.

Her appetite has gone up and down since I got her, but I'm assuming it's because she's still new and also she might be brumating a bit because it gets pretty chilly in my basement. (Usually around 65 Degrees. I keep low wattage night-glo bulbs on in the tank along with the UTH so that it never falls below 70.)

I'm just paranoid as Fafnir lost his appetite too before he passed away....Tiamat's a bit older then Fafnir. I'd say she's about four months at the most.

Yes, even toddlers don't eat occasionally. It's fine.

ACPart seems to be correct.:main_yes:

Just don't stress and see how it goes and everthing should be alright.:main_thumbsup:

My little Ryuusei is the same way. I wouldn't stress it. =)
One day he'll eat ~20 mealies and then leave them untouched the next day.

Whew. Well thanks everyone. I'll keep on eye on her. She seems to have a normal sized tail and everything (although I'd like to fatten her up just a little bit more), but that's hard to do when she doesn't want to eat. :\ I guess I'll have to wait til spring. :main_laugh:
