to being a PIG. LOL...well, pig compared to what she was anyways.

Lar has never eaten much since she came to my house.

Now, I'm happy to say, she eats pretty much a full pieplate of greens. Not bad eh. She'll be filling out really soon.

I know it seems minute to most, but tis a big deal for us :)

I know the relief you must be feeling. I got 2 sub-adult beardies about a month ago and they just started eating their veggies again. They were eating crickets, but today was the first day they actually finished all the veggies I gave them! Yay!

HUGE relief.

I went through the same when I got one of my beardies. She hardly ate anything for 4-5wks. (maybe a grand total of 5 silkworms during that time). Vet checked and she was fine.

In the end, it was just relocation stress....but still a very big stress to see her not eat for that long.

Good to hear yours are eating again :D

Thats great news Chris! I know how you feel, It was such a relief when my little guy started eating again after his parasites. Took him about 4 days of eating nearly nothing and then one day he was back to his pig-eating self :)

Good luck with er'. I used to take in many iggs a while back, and was pleased when they would start to eat a lot. Iggs by nature are like cows, eating a large amount during the day. A good appetite is something to smile about.
