not eating

[amygeee]

Luna has not eaten crickets in about two days and has not been pooping either.
i fear that most of her greens are being eaten by crickets.
i switched from mustard to collared greens and have shredded yellow squash on top
but she just doesn't seem interested.
she is not lethargic or anything just not hungry.
how does one handfeed? when i try it she doesn't open her mouth.
im worried about herr. ):

Is Luna all grey or lighter colored ? She might be getting ready for a shed... that tends to put them off their feed.

Yes, they do tend to slow down eating when they are getting ready to shed. Can you remind me how old Luna is?

Have you tried giving her a bath? The warm water usually gets them going.

:O yes yes she is shedding!
i had a small inkling that this might be the case,
but i didn't know.
uhh i dont know exactly how old she is but from the information
that i have acquired through the forum and the pet store that i bought her from
i would estimate that she is bout 4 and a half to 5 months old.

here are some recent pictures the first one is from like 4 minutes ago.
would i be accurate in my age guess?

thanks for your guys' advice!

i cant guess age with beardie i have one that is said to be 6 years and isnt much bigger than yours ha hmmmmm ???? anyway the not eating problem yeah its most likely the shedding issue my bubba stopped totaly and then started again slowly til he was done shedding it took quite awhile for him i think i dont know what the average is but for bubba it took maybe a month to fully be finished one question on long is your girl?

unless you have a "hatch date" there isn't any Absolute way to tell the age of a dragon... It will always be a guesstimate...
