Took one more picture for a good close up. There are random patches of shed and some cracks forming like more shed is coming? Looks abnormal enough for a vet trip?

Nope, we used to occasionally have some of the ground up coconut husk soil in a dish, but he was never very interested in digging and we know that can cause respiratory issues. So he hasn't had that for like 6 months (forgot to mention that he's 2 years old). We don't pick at his shed, just do...

Hello, our dragon Haku has been developing some blotchy darker spots on his head. They started showing up about 2 months ago, but we assumed it was shed. He did shed the whole top of his head eventually but the splotches were still there. He also has lots of "freckles" (like individual black...

That's pretty much been our strategy with the feedings and that's what I'll stick to going forward: dubias + calci worms on the salad (he seems to pick at one or two per day at least now), and if he's not eating anything, a hornworm every other day or so. This is him getting ready for bed...

We forgot to ask about one potentially critical variable. How long should his lights be on each day? Where we live, outside it's pretty until 6:30am and after 5:30pm. We probably didn't have his lights on long enough before (a little less than 12 hours per day). We adjusted it this week to more...

Absolutely, I offer him dubias+greens first everyday before resorting to the more appealing worms late in the day. He hasn't eaten a dubia in 2-3 weeks and has never gone for veggies. I know that encourages him to be picky and hold out for the tastier treats, but when he was going 36 hour spans...

Thanks for the suggestions about raising and centering the UV. It was previously attached to some clips that were in front of the glass so it slightly tilted inwards, but generally not the best positioning. We've moved it on top of the screen, directly above his basking spots. The log he basks...

The MVB is 125W repti-zoo. The calci worms are bsfls and we got a new shipment of them two days ago, but he’s only eaten one so far and hasn’t generally been a fan when we’ve tried in the past. We do put them in his salad bowl as a lure but he either will carefully eat just the worm or not eat...

Thanks for the tips! I should clarify that we haven’t given him mealworms in weeks and even then it was only sparingly. Now he has calci worms and wax worms. We know wax worms aren’t good but we’re desperate for him to eat anything at this point and those are the only things he’s shown any...

We desperately need help identifying the cause of our baby bearded dragon's lack of appetite. His name is Haku. Here's a compilation of all the information we could think of and we hope you all have some advice! We took him to the vet 2 weeks ago and she didn't seem too concerned, though she did...
