Hey everyone!
I have a gorgeous Northern Bluey named Porkchop who is just about 3 years old. She hasn't been eating very much these past few weeks, even after a shed 4 days ago. I just saw her poop from this morning and it was a little watery with a small urate deposit. We feed her a diet of Endives, chicken breast, egg and raspberries every couple of days. She is not underweight as far as I can tell (no bones showing, nice barrel-ish frame). Her skin has become slightly reddish on her underside and bottom of feet as well and I don't really know that means. She's still pretty active in her tank and likes to bask and move around.
I can take some pictures if that would help, but some suggestions would be great; I just feel a little nervous about her.

Re: Questions about my Bluey!
I am super new to skinks, but all I can suggest right now is... sounds like she needs some more greens and a varied diet!

Re: Questions about my Bluey!
seconded! some more nutrient rich greens would definitely help and a bit of variety can't hurt! her red belly may just be a result of her recent shed, but i can't be sure that's the cause..
people i know who've had skinks longer than i have say that they can sometimes go off their food for seemingly no reason and then all of a sudden get back into eating again. keep offering her food and always make sure there's water for her! if you're very concerned, get her a vet check up to make sure it's nothing too serious.
i hope she's okay! porkchop is an adorable name!
