Has your Dragon's diet ever changed suddenly?

[ladyknite]

For several years I've had mustard greens in the food bowls at least 1-2 weeks out of the month. They're readily available here year round most of the time.
Suddenly, my dragons (all of them at one time) has gone on a strike where they flat out refuse anything with mustards in it. It's been 4 days now, and they won't touch it.

Curious if you've seen anything amiss?

Mine are refusing to eat collards.. only turnip and mustards.. and to think, all that work I put in last fall to grow those collards..

Yep, went through that with Bernie quite a bit. It seemed to come in cycles. He'd chow down on collards and squash, then decide he didn't want to eat his salad. I mixed it up with different veggies and greens, but he would go weeks with not eating salad.

Then he would turn around and boycott crickets.

Magellan did the same with endive. One year he loved it, the next he would refuse to eat them and actually ate around them to get the collards I also offered.

Can't say Spyro ever turned down a meal of any kind. Of course there were a few things that he didn't like, but never refused his "normal" diet, until the end of his life.

I've had that happen with mine (butternut pumpkin). One week he would not touch it, which was odd as it is his fave food. I was a bit puzzled and the only thing I could attribute it too is the pumpkin itself (that particular one) I chopped up a different pumpkin for him and he ate that 1. Maybe you could try getting a different batch of greens Gina.

Mine do that all the time Gina. They usually love Dandelions. Yesterday I mixed Endive in with Dandelions and I see where Petrie had eaten every speck of the Endive and the Dandelion was scattered everywhere in his enclosure. All are boycotting squash for the last two days. I have NO clue why.

I think they do it on purpose to torment us.

I think theyre a lot like kids.... Testing, testing, testing, till they see they dont get their way, then they go sulk / strike and then they give in LOL
