Charlie and Baby haven't eaten today. NOTHING, not even their salad! Today was the other day for Charlie, so only salad today. He usually munches on his salad. I mean, I even put his favorite in, STRAWBERRIES! Not even a nibble. So I tried giving him worms, and wasn't the least bit interested. Baby, usually goes nuts for crickets. Nope, not today. She ate ZERO today. Even yesterday at her second feeding, she didn't eat. Same with Ace, nothing for his second feeding.
The only thing I think could be wrong (but I don't know why?) is the heat being hotter than usual. Could this be it? Baby and Ace's basking spot is usually about 105 ish. For the past 2 days (since the weather has heated up like crazy), well, Ace's basking spot went up only a few degrees, and Baby's went up to 120*F. Is that too hot? I thought it was, so I moved her log to the warm side, and only put a little piece of cork bark in her basking spot, to lower the basking spot so that the temp goes down. The temp is now around 115*F.
ALL OF MY BEARDIES HAVE BEEN GAPING TODAY AND YESTERDAY.
Charlie on the other hand, never refuses his worms. Except for today. His basking spot isn't even super hot, it's like 95*F. And yet he's gaping.
I've been freaking out for the past 2 days. I really want to know what's wrong. :'( It was so embarassing yesterday in the reptile store - I was crying because I was really worried about my beardies. :-[
