8 Month Old Male Beardie Not Eating Insects & Spazzes Out

[SephyrasMom]

Hi! My 8 month old male, Sammy, has went from happily eating dubias, to just waxworms, to nothing now. He literally spazzes out when I try to feed him- running around, glass surfing, etc. I am trying superworms and waxworms right now. No go. He hasn't eaten insects in 3 days now! I gave him a hornworm 4-5 days ago and he ate it right up. I am considering silkworms and hornworms. Just very concerned and frustrated. I even took him out of his 40 gallon glass terrarium and put him in the bathtub. No go there either. He is 18" long. I use the Zoo Med long 5.0 T5 UV light and a 150 watt heat bulb. Repticarpet on the floor. Does anyone know why he would spazz and ignore the insects? Thanks!

Hormones .... he's only got one thing on his mind, let him have more time to run about in a safe area of the house and let him get it out of his system.
