Does shedding cause them to lose their appetite? My girl is still shedding, for about the last 4-5 days now and she’s not eating as much as normal. I know when my bearded dragon "dash" sheds he eats way less, I just wanted to make sure that’s whats going on.

nero doesnt eat when he starts to shed, but after a few days he starts eatin again, even though its alot less than he normally does.. the rest of my iguanas are the same way.. so if this isnt normal, we BOTh have problems:)

Sammy’s appetite is usually dulled when he sheds, since i am dealing with weight problems with him since we found him, I choose to feed things i know he is wild about that are on the good food list and less of the treats and less good for him foods, at that time. I always know the shed is about over when the plate is empty and he starts banging on the side of his cage for his treats again. I know that is a bad habit of his but it is one I can live with. Besides when the boys are caring for him while I am off camping with the SCA, it reminds them to check his food bowl and water.
