I got a beardie in October, and he’s always been a good feeder. But around March he started sleeping a little more every day, and now he sleeps a lot and barely eats anything. I’m thinking it’s brumation, but I’m a bit worried that he won’t eat since he’s always looked a little thin to me, does he look too skinny? I took these yesterday.

Yep looks a little lean to me .

More protein in the way of live insects are in order.

I’m feeding him live super worms and butter worms-though I do have crickets that he used to eat tons of but he doesn’t want to chase them to eat them -.-. Right now he doesn’t want to eat anything so I don’t exactly know how to spark up his appetite again or get him to gain more weight.

What is the UV light source , how is mounted and how far from the basking spot? and how old is it ?

Lack of UVA will result in reduced activity and poor appetite in a dragon.

The UV source is an exoterra tube bulb at I believe 14% and it’s mounted inside his tank, about 10 inches to a foot above where he basks.

He is 9 months old and was born sometime in the summer. I’ll note that he was never sleepy during the winter, he was perhaps even more hyper than he’d ever been when the coldest winter months hit.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
