Hey guys,
My little girl Sola has been hiding most the day for a few weeks at least now. She comes out to eat, then goes back inside her hides and I haven't seen her bask in a long time.
I got her in late October and was told she was 12-13 weeks at that time. So my estimation is she will be 1 year old around mid-late July. Until about a month ago she's been a big eater, I fed her dubias everyday with a couple supers in with them dusted with rep-cal and a salad of collards or mustard greens, carrots and bell or sweet peppers. She would clear her salad bowl every time, every day.. Now she eats maybe half her salad every day.., sometimes she cleans the bowl and sometimes she don't touch it at all. I have cut the bugs back to 4 or 5 days a week because I was afraid she is getting over weight.
She gets exercise a few times a week(runs around the house) and a bath at least once a week with a bowel movement in every bath. She hasn't pooped as much since she's been hiding either, used to be everyday and now it's usually only in baths.
I have recently changed her basking bulb to a lower wattage because I was thinking she's becoming an adult and might want a lower temp while basking. Her enclosure temp is around 80 on cool side and right now it's about 90 on basking side. Basking rock temp is around 100 with a 50w bulb. Just got new 36" t5 10.0 uvb bulbs in both my beardies enclosures. Before that she had a t8-18" uvb bulb.
Is she just lazy? Am I doing something wrong? Should I take her to the vet?
