Hi guys. First things first, my bearded dragon is almost 7 months old, around 350gr of weight and 16.1 inch length.
While he was smashing them insects, suddenly around October he started eating less and less... now he is barely eating, like 1-2 superworms a day or 1 dubia (denies crickets, even waxworms lol). He is eating less greens, and some days now he hides and sleeps 4-5 hours before the lighs go off..
Now ... I think that the mistake was mine because I left him sleep at night temperatures of 66.2 F and an expert told me that I should raise the night temps to 73-78 F. I fixed that with ceramic heater. Has his brumation insticted kick in? I think that he is very young to go through this phase, he is still growing.
I raised the temps a bit more and change the daytime to 12hrs instead of 11 but I dont think that it is gonna work.
I am very worried and stressed to be honest. And lost.
Thanks
