Default Leopard off its food.

My larger leopard has gone off its food the last couple of weeks. Still seems very active and comes out to bask and have a walk round. Should I be concerned she has lost about 35g in weight

Jim.

Just re weighed my leopard she has now put 70g back on and is weighing 1092g.

Temps are 38' basking area 27ish cold end of the enclosure.

She was picking at food today so wondering if the cold weather just put her in a grump.

Jim.
