Pinkies to beardies is like junk food to us, they are high in fat content. Its like us eating nothing but mcdonlads or what ever.

Dont feed them for a few days then offer them woodies and vegies again. If they are hungry they will eat. Dont worry they wont starve to death

not worried about that lol only on 1 pinkie a week but refusing all other feeds in between

 

[danandgaye]

anyone else shed any light on why or what i can do about it???

check the temperatures mate, my dragons and snakes have all stopped eating now due to the sudden drop in temps.. brumation would be the common and most probable cause to this.

Another thing- try feeding a mix of veges 2-3 times a week and the rest live food as there should be a mix between the two food types. so the dragons dont become attached to one food item.

What he said. Just deprive them of pinkies, when they're hungry enough they'll switch to whatever you're providing them with.

Mine always eat less this time of year.
