Active Dragon - not eating and glass surfing

[CodyDragon]

Hi

My 9 month old male Beardie has gone from being mr chilled to running along the glass most of the day and refusing to eat. We’ve checked the temps and lights and all fine! He used to eat 15/20 locusts in a day but not a mouthful for 5 days and won’t touch the salad either! Any ideas - seems otherwise healthy. So frustrating not knowing how to help! Seems so happy when he’s out of the viv!

Hello,

He could be hitting puberty to some extent, he is about the right age! Is he black bearding
some or not?
They will often run around endlessly surfing, etc when their hormones are increasing in the
spring/summer time. They wont eat much during that time either & run themselves ragged,
too.
Do you have pictures of him?

Our 5-6 month old is acting the same way. She would eat so many dubias that we started a small colony and now she has not eaten any in days. I also have anoles and they love the mealworms so I been giving puff the white worms(shedded and the alien form) she loves the alien form( just before they turn to beetles) For two to three days that she didn't eat, she pooped but in a day they were small. She/he is scared to death of crickets, bearded puffs out and goes black. I am also trying to get her to eat some reptiboost too. Not sure why she started not wanting the dubias. At first we thought it was the new batch we got, but she doesn't even want the ones we took from the colony either. Up until two weeks ago her normal growth rate was 1/2 inch one week and an inch the next and she only gained 13 grams in the last week. She is measured and weighed once a week. I have been harvesting the aliens from the colony so they don't get eaten but now I am feeding them to her. I am getting about 20 a day for her and they are so small, that can't be enough for her. She loves butterworms and wax worms too. It's hit or miss for calciworms as she ignores even even small dubias. What else can we try. You can see a thread I made for her on another forum. Thanks for any and all advice in advance.https://ourreptileforum.com/community/threads/asking-for-my-sister-bearded-dragon-not-growing.20285/
