Hello !
I posted a thread here a little bit ago about my veiled and trying to switch him from crickets to dubias and not eating. I accepted the fact that the crickets need to stay until he is a little older, and about a day after I posted that thread he started shedding.

This is my previous post, the possible bruise on his chin has completely gone away and he has completely shed except for his tail, there is a slight ring around the very base of his tale of skin coming off but it is yet to come off. He has been done shedding for two or three days and nothing has happened.
I am aware of the poop on the leaves I am cleaning cage today, hopefully my dragon stands are coming tomorrow and I am moving him into a 24"x24"x48"
This brings me to what I am worried about, since the shedding his eating has still been atrocious. Maybe 2 crickets and a hornworm a day, a couple days ago he ate 4 (I think) hornworms because I was worried and he actually seemed interested. But he has simply not seemed interested in food at all and has been EXTREMELY active. I have had him for around a month at this point and have never seen him move like he has been, just running circle around his enclosure all day with some short breaks to bask. And still not caring about food. I am happy I already have the bigger cage and am excited to move him into it but am concerned for his health. Could he be older than I think and just should be on an adult feeding schedule?
