Default Not Eating

Do Beardies go off locusts for any length of time? Our female (Matilda) is only eating one every so often but will eat mealworms non-stop if I let her! The male is still eating as normal - probably eating her share too if I know him!

She's healthy, still likes to come out to play etc so do you think it's just connected to it being alot warmer of late?

Thanks
Anne

What have you been gut-loading your locust with, I have found mine won't eat so many if I feed the locust on carrot tops. So I wonder if it changes the taste of them

as long as they are getting some food intake thats good, most bearded dragons get lazy when they reach 1 years old, i wouldnt recommend that you feed just mealworms as these are barely nutritious.

Thanks for the replies - they've both started eating again so I guess it was just one of those things!
