My bearded dragon doesn't eat much when she's shedding. is that normal?

even in the "before shedding" phase where her skin is gray. she just doesn't seem to have much of an apetite. but then after she sheds, she pigs out. is that normal?

That's absolutely normal. you can also soak your dragon to keep her hydrated and help the shed process.





Dragons seem to be devoted to stress out their slaves/owners, your reaction is perfectly normal :)

Reply:i didnt think this was normal as i have two bearded dragons and they eat fine when they are shedding.
Reply:Yes. It's absolutely normal. Think of shedding time as PMS time, you get all weird when you PMS (though maybe you pig out instead of not eating) she gets all weird when she sheds.
