my 2 vitikins have not eaten livefood in about a week they are both spending loads of time hiding instead of basking. Some veg is still disapearing presumed eaten. They are between 3 and 4 months old but have grown quick is it possible although not mature that they are doing winter shutdown? Another thing i plan to check is night temp drop if this was going low would this have the effect of making em hide during the day and not eat as mentioned above? They dont look to have lost weight

Its not unusual for this to happen its the brumation winter slow down thing, i would just keep an eye on them, i had Rankins that buried themself completely during this time.
