Hi Sarah, Yes, I do think it has something to do with the seasons. Most reptiles tend to exhibit decreased appetite during the fall and winter months, even if kept indoors. This is normal, but if you have a hatchling or a juvenile, you may want to regulate its environment to simulate summer temperatures and daylight hours. A lot of us will do this for dbts up to their 3rd. year. Sarah, Vickie posted several good food options in post #623. You may have to deprive her of the worms and shrimp for a while and only offer the other foods that you decide to try. Worms are quite fatty and just shrimp and worms alone may not be a good enough source of needed vitamins and minerals. Good luck. – Chun
